About the Sullivan Slough River Access
Welcome to Sullivan Slough River Access, your gateway to the natural beauty and recreational opportunities of the Mississippi River in Burlington, Iowa. Conveniently located at 3175 Sullivan Slough Road, Sullivan Slough River Access is the southernmost of Des Moines County Conservation's four boat ramps on this majestic river. Our facility features a well-maintained concrete boat ramp and a spacious gravel parking lot, ensuring easy access for all visitors.
During the vibrant summer and fall boating seasons, we provide a public boat dock, offering seamless entry to the waters of Mississippi River Pool 19. This area is renowned for its excellent boating, fishing, and hunting experiences. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate the 22 acres of adjacent bottomland timber, which are open to public hunting.
Sullivan Slough River Access is directly across the river from the beloved "Johnboat Beach," a popular gathering spot for boaters during the summer months. Please note that due to the low elevation of our property, access may be limited when the river stage at Burlington exceeds 13.5 feet.
Established in 1989 through a partnership with Sidco Inc., our site includes a single-lane, concrete boat ramp, a boat dock, and ample parking with maneuvering areas. This development was made possible through generous funding from the Iowa Marine Fuel Tax Fund and DNR, reflecting our commitment to providing quality outdoor experiences.
To visit us, head south on Burlington’s Summer St., continue two miles past the airport, and turn left onto Sullivan Slough Road. Follow the road to the end, and you'll find our boat ramp, ready to launch your next adventure. Whether you're here for a day of fishing, a leisurely boat ride, or exploring the wildlife area, Sullivan Slough River Access is your perfect starting point. We look forward to welcoming you!

Reviews of Sullivan Slough River Access
"Great place to just sit by the river on the dock and relax. There is a boat ramp and plenty of parking. No fires, no swimming or camping which is a drag."
