Mississippi River, Upper McNally Landing State Wa*

McNally Landing is a concrete plank boat ramp located in Winona on the Mississippi River's Polander Lake area. This Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife & Fish Refuge access point accommodates both trailer launches and carry-in paddlers, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and recreational boats up to 18 feet. The ramp is open 24 hours unless otherwise posted and provides a straightforward entry point into this section of the river.

The landing provides access to Pool 5A of the Mississippi River, situated within the scenic Upper Mississippi River Valley. Paddlers can explore this area of the river system, which features diverse wildlife habitat managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The nearby Verchota and Upper McNalleye landings offer alternative access points in the immediate vicinity if needed. Plan ahead for parking availability and current conditions, particularly during peak recreation seasons.
