Myre Slough

Myre Slough provides boat ramp access to Mississippi River Pool 19 near Forest City in Winnebago County. This launch point is ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the upper Mississippi River system. The site is conveniently located directly across from a sand island locally known as "johnboat beach," a popular summer destination for boaters and a great landmark for navigation.

The ramp accommodates various watercraft and offers parking facilities for visitors. From here, you'll have access to the recreational opportunities throughout Pool 19, including fishing, hunting, and scenic paddling. The relatively calm, pooled waters of this section make it suitable for paddlers of different skill levels.
