Mud Island Access offers three distinct access points for paddlers: a broken ramp at the mouth of the Wolf River where it meets the Mississippi River (usable but difficult for portage), a second ramp 0.

2 miles downstream on the Mississippi River, and an easy public takeout under the A. W. Willis Bridge in Wolf River Harbor near the Coast Guard station.

All three access points are located at the north end of Mud Island in the Mississippi Greenbelt Park, making this a convenient spot for short Mississippi River paddles or Wolf River transitions.
