ramps in grafton on il and mo side are good to use. water is at normal pool in grafton and the water is always lowest down by the dam in alton. there is a free ramp on the missouri side that is nice
and has a nice dock called hide away harbor it is a st. charles county park i use it all the time. A 36 could not launch on the cove side but could on the chanel side there is two ramps there you can check the river levels a riverbills.com

Well, I was planning on being there and looking forward to it for a while, but saturday I broke my frickin leg and now there is probably no chance of me making it.
If I do it will only be to Liberty Harbor for the events, or My River Home to watch the shootout both by car.
Check http://riverbills.com for the river levels and forecasted levels. I was at the Alton Marina a week ago and there was no water. As previsouly stated, Grafton has water and Alton is way low.

I got my slip at Liberty Harbor for next weekend. As of yesterday, there were 7 slips left available. If you don't have the required 100mph life jacket, the organizers have purchased some for people to use/rent.

Been trying to get in touch with Liberty Harbor???
was planning on Grafton as I have free storage 2 miles down the road but would rather have boat right there.
Hopefully they will reply / call soon.
