Mile 592.1 - Terrene Landing

LBD 592.1 Terrene Landing

After making your crossing around Victoria Bend choose a line of travel down the Mississippi shore LBD. Two miles out of the bend you will see several mansions along the bank. Past the second one, a blocky two-story affair is a wide concrete ramp. This is a private ramp called Waxhaw Landing built by the US Army Corps for construction of the Montgomery Point Lock & Dam. Now privatized, do not make landing. The owners are not known to be paddler friendly. Terrene Landing is a hundred yards downstream. This steep narrow concrete ramp needs to be replaced but for now its the only option for paddlers needing access above Rosedale. The muddy parking lot above is subject to flooding and is notorious for break-ins. Do not leave your vehicle here under any circumstance. Arrange a shuttle if needed. Its a three-mile walk into Rosedale.

Note: If you need resupply your other options are 1) Great River Road State Park LBD 590-588 which (depending on river level) might be a two mile walk into town and 2) the Rosedale Harbor LBD 584.5 which involves a two-mile paddle up the slackwater harbor and then a two-mile walk into town. As you surely know by now, they never made it easy on the river-rat!
