Hills Access
Cedar River Crossing This popular 40-acre river access park is located adjacent to the Iowa River, one-half mile east of the town of Hills, on 520th Street. It was acquired by the county in 1973. Substantial river shoreline provides good fishing access to the Iowa River.

Boating, fishing, camping and picnicking are popular activities here. Facilities include a boat ramp, picnic tables, latrines and potable water. Considerable effort has been expended to improve the quality of this area and increase the level of service for Hills access users.

The fee for primitive camping is $5.00 per night at this great little park. The area features ten campsites with electrical service. The fee for camping with electricity is $10 per unit per night.
