About This Access Site
The Highway 19 Bridge access point in Vesta provides boat ramp access to the Redwood River in Redwood County. This public water access is available 24 hours a day and accommodates both trailer launches and carry-in paddlers. The ramp can handle boats up to 12-18 feet, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats.
This access point serves as a convenient launch for exploring the Redwood River in the Vesta area. Paddlers should note that the bridge itself may experience construction or maintenance periodically, so it's worth checking local conditions before heading out. The site provides a straightforward entry point to the river system and is part of a network of accesses along the Redwood River corridor in the region.
