Head of the Des Moines
- Sep 28, 2024

- Easter Lake
- Des Moines, IA (USA)
- Hosted By: Des Moines Rowing Club
- USRowing Registered (Self-Insured regatta)
Due to flooding on the Des Moines River since early May, and subsequent damage to our river dock, the Head of the Des Moines Committee has chosen to move our 2024 regatta event to Easter Lake in S.E. Des Moines. Although we will be on a lake, this is not a sprint race. It will be a head race of approximately 2100m.
The lake provides many advantages that were not present on the River, including:
- a newly constructed accessible north shore,
- many viewing areas along the course,
- multiple bathrooms on site,
- concessions on site,
- buildings to take shelter in case of inclement weather,
- a chance to check out DMR’s new boathouse, where we’ve been enjoying rowing since early May
