Yellow River State Forest Access provides entry to over 8,900 acres of forested wilderness in northeast Iowa's driftless area, located at 729 State Forest Road near Harpers Ferry.

The forest offers a canoe launch and take-out point on the Yellow River in the Yellow River Unit, plus access to primitive camping areas, over 50 miles of multi-use trails, and seven miles of trout streams.

All camping facilities are non-modern with vault toilets; drinking water is available at the headquarters and information kiosk on State Forest Road.
