Shady Creek Public Boat Ramp provides convenient access to the Mississippi River with a well-maintained launch facility located within a 31-acre Army Corps of Engineers recreation area near Muscatine, Iowa.

The ramp is part of a larger facility offering level concrete pads, restrooms with showers, picnic areas, and a playground, making it suitable for both day-use paddlers and anglers.

Note that camping is available seasonally (May 1 through mid-October), and reservations are recommended as the popular location fills quickly.
