Canton Access is a 2. 3-acre county-owned boat ramp on the western edge of Jackson County serving the scenic Canton to Royertown gateway segment of the Maquoketa River.

The access features a gravel boat ramp and parking area that can fill up on busy days, with additional overflow parking available on adjacent county-owned land to the east.

This is the starting point for the popular Timber City Adventure Race and provides access to a remote stretch of river known for steep bluffs and scenic beauty.
