Burris Ditch is an access point for the Odessa Water Trail.  Located on the same gravel road that leads to the Toolesboro Boat Landing on the Mississippi River.  This is a great place for launching canoes and kayaks and the concrete landing can also be used during most water levels for john boats or smaller, flat bottom boats.

Location

This landing is located on Prairie Street, a gravel road that stretches from County Road 99 near the Toolesboro Mounds, NHL down a relatively steep gravel hill, then down a long and winding gravel road that ends at the Toolesboro Boat Landing on the Mississippi River.  The Burris Ditch Access is about a quarter-mile before you reach the outlet tubes for Odessa and the Toolesboro Landing.

Features

Small parking lot with Odessa Water Trail access.  Paved landing.
