General Comments: This is typically a very busy boat ramp, for boaters as well as spectators, especially on the weekends during warm weather. When river levels are low enough, two large sandbars are exposed: Labadie Sandbar to the east of Washington and Dundee Sandbar to the west. Both are a big attraction for boaters who want a place on the river to relax and have fun.

Dundee Sandbar, near mile marker 76.5, is very user friendly, with sandy bottom and slower slope toward deeper water. Many people shallow wade here, without trouble, but we remind you to think of your safety and wear a flotation device. Is Dundee Sandbar out? Check Dundee Cam The sandbar will be in the upper left quadrant of the image and toward the opposite bank.

Near mile marker 54, Labadie Sandbar has a sand ledge bank with water deepening just beyond. We are looking for more activity information on this sandbar, please e-mail us.

Entertainment and Activities: If you are looking for entertainment or things to do in Washington, there are multiple restaurants, specialty shops, great places to visit, as well as an Amtrak station in close proximity to the Rennick Riverfront Park. Also a beautiful paved trail for biking or walking is accessible on the east end of the lower paved lot.
