Mehaffey Bridge Boat Ramp

Iowa

About

Mehaffey Bridge Boat Ramp is a boat launch in Iowa, part of the Coralville Recreation Area managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. It sits about 3 miles from North Liberty, the nearest town. For time on the water, late spring through early fall is the most comfortable stretch. Typical averages from the Iowa City airport weather station put May highs in the low 70s °F and September highs near 78°F, with July the warmest month at around 86°F. Several trails start close to the ramp. The Cedar Valley Trail is less than half a mile away, and the Great Horned Owl and Barred Owl Hollow trails are each about a mile off. Coralville Lake's fishing access is also about a mile away.
