DAVENPORT, Iowa — Join Partners of Scott County Watersheds (PSCW) to celebrate the opening of the Crow Creek Wildlife Management Area Boat Ramp on Saturday, June 1.

The Improving Public Access and Usability at Crow Creek Wildlife Management Area project was completed in October 2023 with a partnership from Iowa’s Department of Natural Resources, River Action, Inc., Iowa American Water, and Scott County Regional Authority.

The project intends to improve the sustainability, accessibility, usability, safety, water quality, biodiversity, aquatic habitat, and stewardship of the Crow Creek Wildlife Management Area.

With the completion of the boat ramp, the project is completed along with trail improvements, adding educational signage, and the continuation of water quality monitoring three times a year.
