Ferryville

The Ferryville access site on the Mississippi River offers a **paved launching ramp with paved parking**, making it convenient for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. Amenities include a picnic shelter and restroom facilities. A small daily launch fee applies (check locally for current rates), or annual passes are available for frequent users.

This location provides access to **Pool 9 of the Upper Mississippi River**, a scenic stretch between Genoa and Lynxville, Wisconsin. The Mississippi here is a major river system with substantial flow and current—expect strong water movement with an average velocity of 11 feet per second. The river's wide width and significant flow make it best suited for experienced paddlers and boaters comfortable with larger water conditions. Buoys mark the navigable channel when water levels permit.

Before launching, check current water levels and conditions with local authorities, as the Mississippi's level can vary seasonally. The ramp is located near WIS 82 bridge in Ferryville, Crawford County, Wisconsin (Pool 9, left/Wisconsin side). Nearby recreation opportunities include the scenic Upper Mississippi River Valley, popular with anglers and outdoor enthusiasts.
