Highway 9 Access

Highway 9 Bridge provides access to the Cedar River approximately 1 mile west of Osage, serving as a convenient put-in or take-out point for paddlers.

This section features scenic limestone outcroppings and small cliffs, with a fish riffle near the takeout at Osage Spring Park that can be crossed at the extreme right bank. The location is positioned between Bennett Access (2.

7 miles upstream) and Osage Spring Park (1. 9 miles downstream), making it useful for shorter paddling trips in this scenic stretch of the Cedar River.
