Located in Scranton, Greene County, Dunbar Slough provides boat ramp access to Mississippi River Pool 19, a popular destination for boating, fishing, and hunting. The site offers a convenient launch point for paddlers and motorboats looking to explore the river and surrounding sloughs. Notable nearby features include "Johnboat Beach," a sand island directly across the river that serves as a popular summer gathering spot for boaters.
This access point is well-suited for various skill levels, with relatively calm conditions typical of the pool system. Paddlers can expect scenic river views, particularly striking during fall when autumn colors line the banks. The site supports both day trips and longer paddles, with several nearby sloughs and the main channel offering diverse paddling opportunities. Before planning your visit, check for current launch fees, parking availability, and any seasonal restrictions that may apply.
