Hoppies Marina is really several barges attached to the bank of the Mississippi...not pretty...no amenities...just a place to get gas and plug in for the night. Actually the only place to get gas...and because it is still right on the river, landing and launching are an interesting lesson in river currents. Add the passing tows and barges...and the wakes they make... esp. going up river...woo hoo, it can get exciting!
