About This Access Site
Fort Pike Access offers a concrete boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats onto the Des Moines River in Wayland, Clark County. The ramp provides straightforward access to this section of the Des Moines River, making it a convenient put-in point for paddlers exploring the waterway.
Before launching, paddlers should check current river conditions and water levels, as the Des Moines River's flow can vary seasonally. The concrete ramp is suitable for hand-launching kayaks and canoes, as well as trailer boat access. This access point is ideal for day trips or as a starting point for longer paddles downstream. Be sure to scout conditions and plan your route accordingly, especially if you're unfamiliar with this section of the river.
