About This Access Site
Hermann Riverfront Park offers two dedicated boat ramps providing convenient access to the Missouri River in Hermann, Gasconade County. Located on the right bank at mile marker 97.7, the park was developed after the 1993 flood and sits at the base of scenic limestone bluffs. The facility includes parking, restrooms, picnic areas, and primitive tent camping, making it a practical base for multi-day paddling trips.
The Missouri River at this location is a major waterway with significant flow characteristics—expect an average current of 7.42 feet per second and substantial daily discharge. This is a powerful river with considerable water volume; paddlers should have appropriate experience and equipment for river conditions. The gradient through this region averages 3.9 feet per mile, and the river maintains strong current throughout the year, particularly during spring runoff.
Located just a short distance from downtown Hermann, this access point is easily reached via Highway 100 from I-44 (Washington Exit). The park's location provides scenic views of the surrounding bluffs and is a popular spot for fishing, picnicking, and hiking when not actively paddling. For specific details regarding current conditions, camping reservations, or any activity restrictions, contact the area owner directly.
