About This Access Site
This boat ramp provides access to the Missouri River near Omaha in Douglas County, offering paddlers and boaters a convenient launch point for exploring this major waterway. The ramp is strategically located off I-29, making it easily accessible for day trips and longer paddling adventures. The Missouri River in this region is a substantial, flowing waterway suitable for various vessel types, from kayaks and canoes to motorized boats.

Before launching, note that all vessels powered by mechanical devices must be registered with Nebraska. The area offers additional recreation opportunities nearby, including Glenn Cunningham Lake—which features no-wake boating, fishing, and picnicking—and Zorinsky Lake for those seeking calmer water alternatives. Cunningham Lake Dam Site 11 Campground is available within 10 miles for overnight stays.

**Practical tip:** The Missouri River in this section can have variable flow conditions depending on season and water releases. Paddlers should check current conditions and water levels before launching, and be prepared for river traffic from larger motorized vessels. The nearby Riverview Marina is another option in the area with multiple ramps and dock facilities if you need alternatives.
