Verdel Landing boat launch
Verdel Landing
Verdel Landing is a concrete boat ramp that is approximately 25 feet wide, making it suitable for launching small to medium-sized boats. The ramp has a gentle slope, which makes it easy to launch and retrieve watercraft.
Verdel Landing services the Missouri River, which runs along the eastern border of Nebraska. The river is a popular destination for boating and fishing enthusiasts, offering a diverse range of fish species, including catfish, walleye, and bass.
As for the kinds of watercraft that are permitted on the Missouri River, any legal boat or watercraft that is registered with the state of Nebraska is allowed. This includes powerboats, sailboats, canoes, and kayaks. However, it is worth noting that the Missouri River can be unpredictable and challenging to navigate, especially during periods of high water levels. Therefore, it is recommended that boaters exercise caution and take all necessary safety precautions when using Verdel Landing to launch their watercraft.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app

About Verdel Landing
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
