About This Access Site
**Location & Access**
All American Park - North is a boat ramp located in Quincy, Illinois, providing public access to the Mississippi River at a major waterway crossing. The site is situated on Navigation Pool 26, part of the extensive recreational corridor along the upper Mississippi River.
**River Conditions & Boating Character**
Paddlers and boaters should understand that the Mississippi River at this location is a major waterway with significant current and flow. With an average velocity of 11.24 feet/second and average flow exceeding 685,000 cubic feet per second, this is a powerful river suitable for experienced paddlers and boaters. The river's gentle average gradient of 0.8 feet/mile means relatively consistent conditions, though current strength and water levels can vary seasonally. This access point connects to approximately 40 miles of available Mississippi River paddling in the region, including connections to nearby access areas like Piasa Creek and Royal Landing.
**Planning Your Visit**
The area is part of the Great River National Wildlife Refuge, offering wildlife viewing opportunities along with paddling. Boaters should consult current water conditions and river maps before launching, as conditions on the Mississippi can change. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Rock Island District) maintains navigation information and maps for this stretch of river that are valuable resources for trip planning.
