Jackson County Conservation received grants to replace the boat ramp on the Mississippi River at Spruce Creek Park and the river access at Bridgeport for the Maquoketa River.

We are looking to the community to help with match dollars for these grants. The boat ramps and river accesses are free for all to use. Consider making a donation to help improve access for boaters and river users.
