Ellison Park offers a concrete boat ramp access to the Mississippi River (river mile 896) with parking, picnic areas, bathrooms, and a children's play area.

This is a popular and busy access point, especially on summer weekends with jet-ski traffic, making it suitable for both paddlers and anglers launching motorized boats.

The area is known for excellent smallmouth bass and walleye fishing, though bank erosion from development is visible along this section of river.
