Boating is another popular pastime in the area; many
“Dubuquers” take to the river in the summer and fall months
in such watercraft as ski boats, houseboats and fishing boats. Many
marinas are nestled at the river’s edge to provide mooring during
the boating season, which lasts from May to October. Some marinas offer
boat rentals. Water skiing and tubing are popular, as is fishing both
the main channel and the backwaters of the Muddy Mississippi.
