Pontoon Slough

Located in the Town of Nelson along Buffalo County's stretch of the Mississippi River, this public boat ramp offers convenient access to one of the region's most popular waterways. Managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, it's a solid option for getting your boat on the water whether you're heading out for a day of fishing, cruising, or exploring the river. The ramp is publicly accessible, so you won't have any hassles with private property concerns. Being right on the Mississippi means you've got plenty of water to work with, and the DNR management ensures the facility is maintained for regular public use.
