Palisades Yacht Club is a public boating and social club located in Portage Des Sioux on the Mississippi River, Right Descending Bank at Mile Maker 212.3. Our waterfront gives members and visitors a panoramic view of the limestone cliffs across the river in Illinois. We draw our name from the fact they we have such a magnificent view of these “Palisades”. Our location in Portage Des Sioux is just 800 ft upriver from the shrine to Our Lady of the Rivers.
