Guys if you are talking about actually running your boats below lake pepin is deffinately best. The further you are from the cities the less BIG boat traffic there is especially on a weekend Hastings, Stillwater, Prescott, all these are death wish places for our kind of boating. Just below Alma there is a great run all the way to Minneska about 20 miles of nice calm water pluss a big sandy lagoon to swim and party in. There is food and drinks at several bars in Buffalo City. A free boat launch on the Wisconsin side just off county A. It truely is one of my favorite runs on the river. Now if you want to lock through at Bass camp ( lock and dam # 5 ) This will take you down past Fountain City it has another sand lagoon but not as big and this run isn't quite as long either but it is still good. Then lock through again at lock and dam 5A and you will be in the Winona to Trempealeau pool. It is nice too but not many beaches along the side and a big long no wake zone through Winona. You guys pick a date and I will really try to make it you will soon see why my 'stream and I love this place!!!! Dano
