WATCH: Nunn Secures $2 Million Federal Investment to Expand ICON Water Trails

"Des Moines grew up around two rivers, and we haven't done enough to make them part of how families experience our city," said Rep. Nunn . "This $2 million builds the access at Birdland and Prospect Park that changes that - safer, easier ways down to the Des Moines River for the families, kayakers, and anglers who use it. A riverfront people actually use fills the restaurants, hotels, and shops around it, turning more visitors into more customers and more economic growth across Central Iowa."
