Location edit
The Port of Dubuque Marina is located in the historic Ice Harbor of Dubuque, Iowa. The entrance to the Port of Dubuque Marina is located on mile 597.4 on the Upper Mississippi River. The entrance to the harbor is through the flood control gates of the Senator flood wall which was constructed in 1969. This makes the Port of Dubuque Marina well protected from the current of the Mississippi. During high river levels the flood gates are closed, and boat traffic into and out of the Ice Harbor stops.
History edit
The Port of Dubuque Marina and amenities building was constructed with a Boating Infrastructure tier 2 Grant received from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The project was completed in time for a June 1, 2013 ribbon cutting ceremony held at the neighboring National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium.
