About This Access Site
The Decatur boat ramp provides access to the Missouri River in Burt County, Nebraska. This is a primitive facility suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats launching onto a major river system. The ramp approach points downstream and can be difficult to spot from the water until you're in close proximity, so paddlers should watch carefully when approaching from upstream.
The Missouri River at this location is a substantial waterway with an average flow of over 121,000 cubic feet per second and average velocity of 7.4 feet/second. The gradient averages 3.9 feet per mile in this region, indicating moderate current. Paddlers should be experienced in handling moving water and aware that the ramp is situated on a major river system with significant volume and flow characteristics. Primitive camping is available near the access point.
**Plan ahead:** This is a basic access site with limited amenities. Nearby Riverview Marina offers additional services and two additional ramps if you need alternative facilities or additional support services.
