Palisades Dows
Preserve
Palisades Dows Preserve is located across the river from
Palisades Kepler State Park.
Part of this 162-acre area was a gift from Sutherland Dows to the
people of Linn County.
The preserve is primarily wooded with some unique limestone
outcroppings located near the Cedar River.
This area has been used extensively by area colleges for a variety
of research projects.
In addition to the natural features, the Cedar Amateur Astronomers
have constructed an observatory and viewing pads on this
property.
Educational programs and viewing opportunities are offered at
various times throughout the year.
