About This Access Site
NP Dodge Memorial Park offers a well-developed boat launch facility in Omaha on the Missouri River, featuring an indoor boat ramp, 326 boat slips, boat trailer storage, and ample automobile parking.

The Missouri River at this location is a major waterway with significant flow characteristics—averaging over 121,000 cubic feet per second—so paddlers should be prepared for strong currents and substantial water movement. The river has an average velocity of 7.42 feet/second with a moderate gradient, making it suitable for experienced boaters and paddlers but requiring attention to current conditions and water safety. The site provides good access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized vessels looking to explore this section of the 926-mile Missouri River.
