If you stay at Stoney Creek you can probably get a slip at East Port. East Port Marina and Stoney Creek are in no way affiliated. There are no slips at the casino facility but both motels on that property are real nice. With the river way down, it looks like the best ramps will be Detweiller.
Thanks,
Steve

Detwiller is on the Peoria/West side of the river not too far North of the Rt. 74 bridge. For me coming from the East on 74, I cross the bridge and take the first exit (Adams St.) and then turn right/North as if I was going to Chillicothe. Detwiller is about a mile or so up the road off to the right. It is marked by a little brown sign so you have to really be paying attention. You cross over the railroad tracks and you will see the ramp.

What if I was to put in a little further north like Lakin or Henry. I think there is a big rock pile in the middle of the launch area at Lakin. Anyone used those ramps lately. Just concerned with the water levels so low, if I would have troubles at those ramps.
