Keosaqua to Keokuk

Gravel route from Iowa Rd to Iowa Rd, Keokuk, Lee County, Iowa

"Route that follows the Des Moines river valley all the way to Keokuk. Can be combined with the route from Ottumwa to Keosaqua for a multi-day bikepacking trip. The route includes a stop at Chatfield park to set up camp and a trip to Hyvee in Keokuk to pick up groceries (there and back). Only a couple miles of pavement and I tried my best to avoid highway 61. "

Bladensburg Road to Park Road-Ottumwa to Keosauqua

Gravel route from 110th St to Park Rd, Keosauqua, Van Buren County, Iowa

"Mix of rolling hills and flat river valley stretches. Follows the Des Moines river toward the end and makes for an easy ride before reaching the campground. Plenty of small towns to get supplies with at most a couple miles of pavement."
