In Peoria, about a mile northeast of the city and on the shore of the Illinois River, is Detweiller Marina, which has a boat ramp.

The marina is located at the end of S Caroline Street, about a block southeast of NE Adams Street (US Route 24). The ramp continues from the road down a paved slope to the water.

The ramp has three 'bays,' separated by narrow docks. It drops into a protected cove where there is an opening to the great river.

The web site for Detweiller Ramp has this about the ramps.
•3 public launch ramps, accessible even in high water - launch fee of $5 for any size boat. $5 fee is handled through an honesty envelope policy. Read signs on Marina entry off of Caroline Street for more details.
