Millenium Marina

Millennium Marina in East Dubuque offers convenient access to the Mississippi River, one of North America's largest waterways. This launch site puts you directly on the mighty Mississippi, a major river with an average flow of over 685,000 cubic feet per second and substantial current (averaging 11.24 feet/second). Paddlers and boaters should be prepared for this significant flow and the river's considerable width and boat traffic typical of a Stream Order 10 waterway.

The upper Mississippi River in this region (Pools 11-22) offers diverse paddling and boating opportunities, from exploring sloughs and backwater channels to accessing sandbars and main-channel routes. The area is well-developed for recreation, with multiple campgrounds and boat ramps dotting the shoreline along the river project. Before launching, confirm current facility hours, amenities, and any fees at Millennium Marina, and always check river conditions and water levels, as the Mississippi's substantial current requires appropriate skill and planning for safe paddling.
