Sans Souci Island

Sans Souci Island

Sans Souci was cleared of housing in 2008 after flooding. The area is a key connection sitting between Waterloo and Cedar Falls. It is currently maintained as a passive recreation area with a trail in the woods and river access for fishing.


The water trails plan calls for a kayak launch area. Currently, the expectation would be to create a new dock, pedestrian access improvements, concrete restroom building, and lighting, however no plan has been created. The City is seeking to develop a Master Plan for San Souci Island.
