About This Access Site
South Fraser Ramp provides public access to the Des Moines River in Boone County, Iowa. The Boone County section of the Des Moines River is designated as a state watertrail with approximately 38 river miles and 8 boat ramps in the area, making it part of a well-marked paddling corridor. Paddlers and boaters can expect wayfinding signs at launch sites and informational kiosks along the route.
This access point serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the river. The state watertrail designation means you'll find directional signage at bridges and between access points, which is helpful for trip planning. Before launching, check current river conditions and water levels, as these can vary seasonally and affect paddling difficulty.
