On June 11, 2025, ICON Water Trails hosted the first-ever ICONic Riverfest — made possible by Polk County — raising nearly $25,000 and removing 560 pounds of debris and 15 trailer loads of invasive species surrounding the region’s waterways. ICONic Riverfest is a regional volunteer initiative dedicated to furthering ICON’s mission of improving the quality, safety and enjoyment of Greater Des Moines’ (DSM’s) water trails, with funds raised by the event directly supporting these goals.
