Along the Red Cedar River, places of interest include Burmeister’s Island at the Benton-Black Hawk County line, a privately owned wildlife haven; the old Mt. Auburn Bridge, an iron bridge built in the early 1900's and washed out by a spring flood in 1965, with its stone piers still remaining; Winegar Park, a county conservation area for fishing, hunting, and equestrian use; and the Tobin’s Cabin Area and Lime Creek, where Judge Tobin’s cabin was given to the County Conservation Board in 1977 and later ruined by the flood of 2008, while Lime Creek nearby was long an active bass spawning area. Other river landmarks include Sauer’s Rocks, Remington's Ferry, Demmel's Rocks, and Minne Estema Park, a state-owned county conservation area established in 1900 by George Knapp as a popular resort and boating area whose name means "sleeping waters," in a place where mound-building Native Americans lived before Iowa was settled. Downstream are Big Rock, Norwood's Fish Camp with cabins first established in the 1930's, Big Island, also called Brant's Island on early maps, Timbuc, Mouth of Pit, Rocky Shore, Horse Thief Caves, and the Dudgeon Area, managed for wildlife, fishing, hunting, and bird habitat. Near Vinton are Wyman's Park, Celebration Park, the Ice House, two boat ramps, Milroy Access, High Banks, Lover's Leap, Hoefle-Dulin Park, Knupp's Cabin, Noeller's Rocks, Benton City-Fry Park near the lost settlement of Benton City, Webb's Bayou and Harger's Spring, Wildcat Bluff Park, and Linger Longer, an early picnic and gathering area near the Benton-Linn county line. The river corridor also preserves memories of steamboat landings, family fishing camps, former farm and business sites, flood damage in 2008, and local legends.
