WINNESHIEK COUNTY, Iowa – People are being warned about a dangerous section of the Upper Iowa River.
It’s a spot about 200 yards up river from the Pole Line Road/Bluffton Road River Access. The Winneshiek County Sheriff’s Office and Winneshiek County Emergency Management says they’re received a report about strong current flowing toward several fallen trees at a bend in the Upper Iowa River.

The Sheriff’s Office says like all waterways, the Upper Iowa is always changing and new potential hazards can form at any time.
