Sycamore Boat Ramp

Sycamore Access is a hard-surface boat ramp on the Des Moines River in Polk County, serving both motorized and non-motorized watercraft users.

According to regional planning recommendations, this is a primary activity hub that is slated for enhancement with expanded parking, fishing access with cleaning station, restrooms, and lighting to better serve the popular and crowded stretch between Saylorville Dam and Birdland Marina.

The ramp provides connections to the Neil Smith Trail and serves as a key access point for anglers, paddlers, and rowers on this well-developed section of the river.
