Vernon Springs Impoundment Boat Ramp provides hard surface access to the Turkey River near Cresco, with a cleared parking lot and amenities including restrooms and accessible facilities.

The 2010 dam modification converted the former low-head dam to rock arch rapids, eliminating the safety hazard while maintaining the upstream pool and reconnecting 83 miles of river for fish passage and recreation.

This location is ideal for anglers and paddlers seeking safe access to a productive fishery with improved habitat.
