Alma Marina

**Location & Facilities:** Alma Marina is a full-service boat launch located in Alma, Wisconsin, on the Mississippi River (Pool 5, Upper Mississippi River). This private facility offers a concrete ramp with convenient amenities including temporary dockage, fuel, pumpouts, restrooms, and boat rental options (pontoons and houseboats). The marina also provides mechanical and restoration services for all boat types and marine engines, plus winter storage if needed.

**River Conditions:** This access point sits on the Mississippi River, a major waterway with substantial flow (averaging 685,000+ cubic feet per second) and moderate current. The river in this region flows at an average velocity of 11.24 feet/second with a gentle gradient of 0.8 feet/mile, making it suitable for various paddle craft and motorboats. Paddlers and boaters should be prepared for a large, active river with commercial traffic and barge movement.

**Getting There:** Alma Marina is located north of the dam and serves as the primary boat launch for the area. A free Midtown Courtesy Dock is also available south of the dam for transient vessels. For current information on slip rentals, services, and seasonal hours, contact the marina directly—this is a private facility where fees and availability may vary.
