Cedar Avenue (Highway 77 Bridge)

Located in Burnsville along the Minnesota River, this boat ramp provides convenient access to a major waterway in the Twin Cities area. The site is open 24 hours daily and accommodates both trailer launches and carry-in paddlers. Most ramps at this location can handle 12-18 foot boats, making it suitable for recreational kayakers, canoeists, and smaller powerboats.

The Minnesota River offers paddlers access to a scenic corridor between Minneapolis and St. Paul, with connections to the nearby Mississippi River system. This access point is enhanced by multiuse trails on both sides of the Highway 77 pedestrian bridge, providing additional recreational opportunities before or after your time on the water. The site's location makes it an ideal launching point for exploring the local river ecosystem and connecting to the broader Upper Mississippi River Valley recreation area.
