Camden Boat Launch to be Replaced Sept. 26

Camden Boat Launch to be Replaced Sept. 26

The Camden boat launch, located at the south end of North Mississippi Park, will be closed beginning Sept. 26 for replacement. The existing boat launch, accessible via Soo Avenue, has deteriorated due to age.

Work to replace the boat launch is expected to take three days, with an anticipated open date of Sept. 29.

During construction, those seeking to launch boats into the Mississippi River are encouraged to use the boat launch at Boom Island.

The Camden fishing dock, located adjacent to the boat launch, was removed in May after damage sustained due to the high water and strong current caused by heavy spring rainfall. The fishing pier located at the north end of North Mississippi Park, accessible via Lyndale Avenue, remains open.
