About This Access Site
The Floyd Von Haden Boat Landing in Boscobel is an excellent access point on the Wisconsin River's lower reach, offering easy ramp access to the water and ample parking. This site serves as both a convenient put-in for downstream paddling and a popular take-out for upstream trips. The facility provides straightforward boat launching suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized vessels.
Located off Indiana Avenue in Boscobel, this recreation area is recognized as one of the best access points along the Lower Wisconsin Riverway. Paddlers using this site should be aware of dam portaging requirements when planning trips in either direction. The Wisconsin River in this section is navigable year-round under typical conditions, though water levels can vary seasonally. Check current conditions before launching, especially after heavy rainfall or during spring runoff.
