About This Access Site
Village Creek Access provides public boat launching on the Mississippi River in Lansing, Allamakee County, offering convenient access to Pool 9 of the Upper Mississippi River. This major river access point serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the scenic Upper Mississippi River Valley between Genoa, WI and Lynxville, WI.
The Mississippi River at this location is a substantial waterway with an average flow of approximately 685,000 cubic feet per second and average current velocity of 11.24 feet per second. Paddlers should be prepared for significant water volume and current conditions typical of a major river system. The relatively gentle gradient (0.8 ft/mile average) keeps the river navigable, though water levels and flow rates can vary seasonally.
Before visiting, contact local authorities or check current conditions, as the ramp has undergone maintenance work in previous years. Nearby recreation areas and services in the Lansing area provide additional amenities for a full day of river activity.
