Amenities edit

On the Mississippi, the marina's boat ramp is located at river mile 844.8L, on the opposite bank of Pike Island.[4] The marina is located within Crosby Farm Regional Park and is accessed on land via Shepard Road, just west of Davern Avenue, in Saint Paul.[3]

The marina lies in the middle of the 6.7-mile (10.8 km), multi-use trail system connecting Hidden Falls to its east and to Crosby Farm to its west.[5][6] The area of the two parks features four miles (6.4 km) of riverfront shoreline and is within the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area.[7][8] In 2013, long-term plans by the City of Saint Paul called for redevelopment of the marina with an environmental education center and multi-use access points to the river.[9]
