Andalusia Boat Ramp

Andalusia Boat Launch provides public access to the Mississippi River's Andalusia Slough from the northern boundary of Loud Thunder Forest Preserve, with a boat ramp and docks typically available March 15 through December 15 (weather permitting).

The access road to Riverview Campground leads to the public boat ramp, though winter conditions may occasionally close the road. This location is ideal for anglers and paddlers seeking Mississippi River access in the Quad Cities area.
