About This Access Site
**Location & Facilities**
Blanchette Landing is a 20-acre access site located at 100 Olive Street in Saint Charles, Missouri, providing convenient public access to the Missouri River at river mile 27. The facility features a double-lane concrete boat ramp, parking lot, restrooms, and a gazebo pavilion. The site is part of Jean Baptist Point DuBois Park and welcomes fishing enthusiasts as well as paddlers and boaters.
**River Conditions & Considerations**
The Missouri River at this location is a major waterway with substantial flow (averaging over 121,000 cubic feet per second) and moderate current speeds around 7.4 feet per second. Paddlers and boaters should be aware that the ramp becomes completely submerged at river stage 26 feet, which may limit or prevent launching during high water periods. The river's significant flow and velocity make it suitable for experienced paddlers and powered vessels; check current water levels and conditions before launching.
**Nearby Recreation**
The access point is near Two Rivers National Wildlife Refuge, a migratory bird habitat established in 1958 between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. The surrounding area offers bank fishing opportunities and access to parks and trails along the riverfront, making it a good base for exploring this section of the Missouri River and nearby natural areas.
