There's this really kind of beautiful national park on either side of the river of that's full of bike trails and it's actually you know conveys a kind of wild river vibe. Although it's downstream of these king rust belt towns up river so so the cleanup worked. The cleanup largely worked. Although the kogas still has has some issues including i think the the river bottom is a is a epa disaster site like there are still all kinds of awful heavy metals and stuff. I mean they continued to dredge the river. And they dredge it now. The rivers twenty seven feet deep. Where if it were left alone it would be one foot deep and full of spawning fish. Tugboats have to up their bottoms though. Yeah but so. It's a a superfund site but also now a place of of river walks in a superfund site us. That's the superfund back in superfund.

The koga was also extensively dammed in the twentieth century to generate power during. The you know the the boom time of hydro-electric damning and now a lot of the dams on the koyo and that you know the dams just increased the kind of slow moving slugging sludgy rancid -ness of the river. Ninja turtles though. Oh interesting yeah but a lot of those dams are now getting torn down as part of the of rivers movement. So some of your. We're going to in our lifetime. See a lot of those. Koga dams consigned to the damn bin of history today. Damn wastebasket of history the this year. The raccoon river is the ninth most endangered river. I have never heard of the raccoons apparently a small iowa river which has been contaminated by factory farms. Oh sure all the possibly have raccoons all the the. The the poop and the antibiotic comorans drinking water is now full of whatever awful stuff gets used in these factory farms so hormones hormones from cows are giving puberty is now starting at age four into moines here so thank you american rivers for bringing visibility to all the problems of the raccoon river completing fire.
