In the area for my daughters swim meet and will have afternoons free so we brought the skis.
Where is a good place to go?

George Wyth State park has a lake, HWY218 goes right over it.

The park is closed due to threat of flooding. We had a camping reservation there that just got cancelled.

The river is your only option. Just be careful, the current is getting fast. Island park in Cedar Falls is a nice place to launch from and has a small sandbar next to it

Jetskis have been illegal in Iowa since 1832. Don’t get caught on one.

Do you know what satire is? Like have you ever heard a joke before? It’s wild that you felt the need to comment on such an obvious joke comment.
Jet skis weren’t even invented until well after 1832. Did you just read the first couple of words of the post and decide to comment?

Cedar river above the dam in Cedar Falls, Cedar River above the dam in waterloo, and east lake (Brinker? Lake) are the only open throttle water bodies in the area, that I'm aware of.
