River Activities
Although Harmony does not have a river
running through it, the Root and Upper Iowa
rivers are close by! Both rivers have nearby
starting points for canoeing, kayaking and
tubing. The Root River offers many activities,
including some of the best trout fishing in the
United States.

Only a few miles from Harmony are some of the finest trout
