Attention Missouri River Boating Community:

e have been asked by the Harbor 671 Association to find out how much interest there would be in developing a ''RIVER REST AREA'  between Cottonwood Marina in Blair, NE and the Decatur Marina.

The proposed river rest area would be on the Nebraska side (right bank) of the river at the 671 mile marker on Lower Little Sioux Reach - across the river from Iowa's Deer Island state game management area. There is an existing chute in this area that would be widened and dredged to allow boat access. The nearest accessible town to the proposed rea is Tekamah in Burt County, Nebraska.

The proposal includes a floating boat dock and walkway up to an area that could include a picnic shelter, restroom and grills.

We would like to hear your comments and hopeful support of the Big Cottonwood Recreation and Habitat Improvement Project. Since grant money will be needed to complete this project, it will only be accomplished if there is support.

Please fill in comments submission form below and we will forward this on to the appropriate personnel.
