Located in Prairie du Chien along the Mississippi River, this semi-private boat ramp offers convenient access for boaters exploring one of the Midwest's most popular waterways. Managed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the ramp serves as a solid launching point whether you're planning a day trip or heading out for longer adventure on the river. The area's proximity to the Big River Campground makes it easy to combine your boating with camping if you want to extend your stay. As with most Mississippi River access points in this region, you'll want to check water conditions before heading out, especially during seasonal changes. It's worth calling ahead to confirm any current access details or any requirements for using the facility.
