About This Access Site
The Riverside Road Bridge provides a convenient boat ramp access point on the Pecatonica River in Gratiot, near Browntown. This is a frequently used public landing that offers straightforward access for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The access is located on the south side of Riverside Road, east of the bridge, with parking available nearby.
This section of the Pecatonica is suitable for paddlers of various skill levels looking for a casual recreational paddle. The stretch immediately downstream toward Gordon Creek (about 0.3 miles away) is considered more scenic and is popular with paddlers. For those seeking a more interesting paddle, Gordon Creek Boat Ramp is a nearby alternative that many paddlers prefer as a launch point. Before heading out, check water conditions and river levels, as flow can vary seasonally on this gentle, meandering river.
