About the nodaway river
The Nodaway River is a 69-mile-long tributary of the Missouri River in Missouri and Iowa. It was first explored by European settlers in the early 1800s and played a significant role in the region's transportation industry during the 19th century. Today, it serves as a source of irrigation for agriculture, and several reservoirs and dams have been built along its course, including the Nodaway Valley and West Nodaway reservoirs. The river also provides recreational opportunities such as fishing, canoeing, and camping, and is home to several species of fish and wildlife. However, the Nodaway River has been subject to flooding, with the most severe flood event occurring in 1993, causing significant damage to surrounding communities.
