About This Access Site
Riverside Park Marina offers convenient access to the Mississippi River in Memphis with well-maintained concrete boat ramps ideal for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The facility includes modern restrooms, picnic areas, and a bait and tackle shop, making it a practical staging point for river outings. The marina is one of several public access points in the Memphis area along this major stretch of the river.
Paddlers and boaters should be prepared for the Mississippi River's substantial current and scale. At this location, the river maintains an average flow of over 685,000 cubic feet per second with typical water velocities around 11 feet per second. The river's broad channel and powerful current make it best suited for experienced paddlers and well-equipped boats; novices should exercise caution and consider starting on calmer stretches or with guided trips. Weather conditions and water levels can change rapidly on this major waterway, so check conditions before launching.
