Blair City boat ramp

Located just west of the Blair Bridge on Highway 30 in Blair, Nebraska, this Missouri River access point offers two boat ramps, two floating docks for temporary mooring, and essential amenities including restrooms, a fish-cleaning station, and picnic shelters with grills. To reach the ramps, turn north on Marina Road from Highway 30, then right onto Fairview Drive just north of the railroad overpass, and continue to the river.

As a major river system with an average flow of over 121,000 cubic feet per second and average velocity of 7.4 feet per second, the Missouri River demands respect from paddlers and boaters. The current location sits near Mile Marker 651, providing a good staging point for both upstream and downstream exploration. Nearby recreational opportunities include Glenn Cunningham Lake for calmer water activities and Boyer Chute National Wildlife Refuge for wildlife viewing and nature-based recreation.

This access point supports kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters with adequate launch facilities and primitive camping options nearby. Plan for strong river currents and be prepared for the substantial flow characteristic of this major waterway.
