There are excellent lauches in wabasha, lake city, and a really nice one just north of downtown Red Wing. These are all on the west side. Not sure what part of pool 3 you want to fish in but they are in order as you would come to them. the north end is better this time of year, so try redwind. I always had the best luck the first 2-3 miles downstream of lock and dam #3.
good luck

[Point of order?]

Isn't Redwing in pool 4?
Hastings is pool 3, right?
The ramp ikn the park, Downtown Hastings is a pretty good one if the river is calm, no dock though.

Pool 3, 3 options from out of town. Hastings, MN. Take 61 into town, don't cross over the Miss. Bridge. Take exit just prior to bridge, go left, then a few blocks to park. Other Prescott, Wi., downtown just south bridge. (Both Northern end) Lastly perhaps Teasure Island Casino on the south end of pool 3 (may want to call on this one). Pool 4 Red Wing, Baypoint Park on North, north to dam, Colvill Park on South, south to Lake Pepin.
