SUPERIOR, WI (KDAL) – All of the Superior public boat launches will be opening on Friday in time for the start of the Wisconsin fishing season on Saturday.
The City and the Superior Chamber is also debuting the “Kids Don’t Float” life jacket loaner program. Life jackets will be loaned out to kids of all ages and sizes before getting into a boat and on the water. A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at noon on Friday at the Loons Foot Landing on 30th Avenue East.
Although the four boat launches will have docks ready by the weekend, some repairs and maintenance work is still being done over the next several weeks.
New features include a fish cleaning station at the Barker’s Island Boat Launch which features an on-site mounted grinder to dispose of fish remains and waste.
The four Superior public boat launches:
- Arrowhead – west end of the City off Belknap Street
- North 21st Street – west end of the City off 21st Street.
- Barker’s Island – off Hwy. 2 and Marina Drive
- Loon’s Foot Landing – off Hwy. 2 on 30th Avenue East
