About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Riverside Access is located on the west edge of Peterson, IA, south of Highway 10 on 115th Avenue. The site sits on the western bank of the Little Sioux River, approximately halfway between Omaha, Nebraska and Sioux City, Iowa, near where the Little Sioux River meets the Missouri River. This makes it a convenient access point for paddlers exploring the lower portion of the river system.

**Facilities & Activities:** The 4.47-acre facility includes a dedicated boat ramp suitable for motorboats and trailers, plus canoe and kayak access for paddle-craft launches. Bank fishing is also available at the site. The area functions as a small park with river access, providing a straightforward put-in or take-out location for boaters traveling the Little Sioux River.

**Planning Your Visit:** As a year-round access point, Riverside Access serves paddlers looking to access the lower Little Sioux River corridor. Check current water conditions and flows before paddling, as the lower sections of Iowa rivers can vary seasonally. The proximity to the Missouri River confluence means this area may experience some backwater effects depending on water levels.
