Rotary Park is a small, peaceful recreation area located along the Cedar River just north of Charles City. Mature shade trees, a picnic shelter, benches, and a fire ring make it an inviting place for a quiet picnic or relaxing afternoon near the water.


The park also features a gravel river access suitable for launching or taking out canoes and kayaks. Its riverside setting, abundant birdlife, and convenient location make Rotary Park a welcoming stop for picnicking, paddling, and enjoying nature.
