Mississippi River, Walleye Road Landing Water Acc*

Walleye Road Landing provides access to the Mississippi River in Rice, Stearns County, near the central portion of this major waterway. This location sits on Minnesota's largest river system, which averages flows of over 685,000 cubic feet per second and maintains a moderate gradient of 0.8 feet per mile in this region. Paddlers and boaters should be prepared for the substantial current and traffic typical of a major river corridor.

As a boat ramp facility, this landing serves as a launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized vessels exploring this section of the Mississippi. Given the river's significant size and flow characteristics, users should have appropriate experience and equipment for moving water conditions. The site's proximity to the wider Mississippi River system means paddlers may encounter commercial barge traffic and other vessel activity. Check current conditions and local water levels before launching, and be aware of designated river mile markers and navigation channels in the area.
