Description
Bouldering area located at the Joinerville boat ramp along the Maquoketa River. Limestone boulders featuring solid rock and fun movement on a variety of boulders. Problems range from vertical highballs to steep, juggy problems and a few tall, proud lines with hard moves on steep limestone.
You can park along the road inside the park. Please park closer to park entrance/approach trail. This will free up parking near the boat ramp for boaters.

The bouldering at Joinerville Park was independently discovered by John Anderson and Troy Davison, each of whom did some early, undocumented first assents in the park. In 2013 the Iowa ClimbersÂ’ Coalition approached the Jackson Country Conservation office about bouldering at Joinerville park. We were given the green light to begin bouldering at Joinerville. However, there caveat is that, if it turns into a problem, this could change.
Bolting and roped climbing are not allowed at Joinerville.
