Vermillion (Pkrl Slh) pa

**Location & Access:** Cannon Bottoms is a public boat ramp providing access to the Vermillion River in Welch, Goodhue County, Minnesota. The concrete plank ramp is suitable for small boats and kayaks/canoes. The access road is located about ¼ mile east of West River Road at a stop sign—use caution, as traffic from the south does not stop at this intersection.

**What to Know:** This is a shallow water access point designed for smaller watercraft. Be aware that the access road may become inaccessible during periods of high water, so check conditions before visiting, especially after heavy rain or spring runoff. Public water accesses in Minnesota are open 24 hours a day. The site is convenient for paddlers exploring the scenic Vermillion River or planning to access nearby Mississippi River pools (Pool 3 and Pool 4) located downstream in the Upper Mississippi River Valley between Hastings and Winona.
