Savanna Marina

Located in downtown Savanna, Illinois, Savanna Marina offers convenient access to the Mississippi River with four boat launch ramps suitable for kayaks, canoes, and larger watercraft. The facility is situated along a wide section of the Mississippi River, a major waterway characterized by substantial water volume and moderate current, making it ideal for various paddling experiences. The marina provides easy public access to the river for day trips or longer expeditions.

Beyond launching, Savanna Marina is a full-service facility offering amenities including wet slips, dry dock storage, campsites, and winter storage options. If you're seeking free launch alternatives, Marquette Park in Savanna (located at both the upper and lower ends of the park) provides complimentary boat ramps with ample parking. The area is well-positioned for exploring the Mississippi's main channel, sandbars, and backwater sloughs. For additional free launch options, Lazy River Marina lies about 4 miles north on Route 84, or paddlers can access the river at the municipal ramp in nearby Sabula, Iowa.
