The Dragoon River Romp is a river cleanup event in Boone County. Sections of the Des Moines River are selected for cleanup each year. Canoes are provided for the event from Seven Oaks Recreation.

The Dragoon River Romp is a Keep Boone County Beautiful event. The vision of KBCB is a cleaner and more beautiful county. Our mission is to protect and preserve the beauty and quality of life through partnerships between citizens, business, neighborhoods and government and to continue to foster PRIDE in our County's environment.

The Dragoon River Romp, which will be celebrating its 7th anniversary in 2012, embodies this mission.

Over the past 6 events the efforts of our volunteers resulted in over 20 tons of trash being removed from our beautiful Des Moines River and its banks. Much of the trash is recycled and the remainder is deposited at the Boone County Landfill.
