MUSCATINE, Iowa – Dredging operations in the Muscatine Boat Harbor and Marina are wrapping up, and the harbor facilities are open and available for use. The facility is operated by the Muscatine Parks and Recreation Department.
The Municipal Boat Harbor and Marina has a variety of slips available for rent, including 18 for houseboats and 64 for smaller, pleasure and speed boats. Slips are non-covered and each one is equipped with electricity and water. The docking season began on May 1 and continues until October 1. (See below for contract, rates and rules for the Boat Harbor.)
The Muscatine Municipal Boat Harbor and Marina is a place to store your boat for the season, allowing you more time on the water and less time launching and retrieving your craft. Boat owners are reminded that slip rentals are currently being taken with slips still available to rent for the season.
The Gas Dock, operated by the Muscatine Parks and Recreation Department, will be open for boaters’ convenience. The Gas Dock, located on the Muscatine riverfront in the channel just upriver from the Muscatine Boat Harbor, will have both gas and diesel available along with pump-out service for boaters.
The Gas Dock will be open at 2 p.m. Monday through Friday with a call-ahead appointment. To schedule an appointment for fuel, call the Parks and Recreation office at (563) 263-0241 during normal business hours.
The Gas Dock will also be open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on holidays (Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day) and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays during the current boating season (Memorial Day through Labor Day).
Contact the Parks and Recreation Department office to reserve your slip over the phone at (563) 263-0241 or via email at parksoffice@muscatineiowa.gov.
