Beaver Slough is a stream located in Clinton County, Iowa. In 2020, the slough underwent significant dredging work to improve its fishing habitat, with subsequent bank shaping and tree planting to enhance the ecosystem. This restoration project has created quality overwintering habitat that should benefit fish populations well into the future. The slough is known for offering anglers opportunities to catch several popular game fish species in a freshwater environment.
