Paddle Iowa’s unbelievable waters, catch unforgettable fish, and win unmatched prizes! The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has set up a fun and exciting Hook n’ Paddle Program that allows you to explore safe paddling spots across Iowa this summer. The program includes over 50 participating locations and gives you the perfect excuse to explore all the paddling and fishing Iowa offers.
We have two participating locations in Pottawattamie County: Lake Manawa State Park and the West Nishnabotna River Water Trail.
How to Use the Pass:
Step 1: Get Your Mobile Pass
Step 2: Receive Your Passport via Text and Email
Step 3: Check-In at the Participating Location
The more Hook n’ Paddle locations you visit, the more prizes you’ll unlock! The first 500 users to check into three locations will win an exclusive Hook n’ Paddle Passport sticker, and the first 100 users to check into 10 locations will win a stocked mini tackle box!
In addition to these unmatched prizes, you’ll also be entered to win monthly and grand prize drawings. Each check-in to a participating location earns you one entry into the monthly and end-of-season drawings with a chance to win a telescoping rod, water bottle, and drybag, and a grand prize of a sit-on kayak, paddle, life jacket, and dry bag.
