Sutliff Access

 This river access, slightly less than 1/2-acre in size, is located in the tiny settlement of Sutliff in Cedar Township. It is owned by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. The JCCB has operated the area since 1986 under a twenty five-year management agreement.

Facilities on the site include a boat ramp and picnic area. The concrete boat ramp was constructed with funds from the Motor Boat Fuel Tax Fund. None of the entrance to the boat ramp or the parking lot lies in the floodplain. Consequently, it is accessible even when the river is at flood stage.

This access provides fishermen and boaters hours and hours of recreation. This excellent facility was developed at no cost to the taxpayers of Johnson County.
