About This Access Site
Located in Whiting, Portage County, Consolidated County Park offers public boat ramp and carry-in access to the Wisconsin River. This site provides a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to access one of Wisconsin's major river systems. The park setting suggests amenities typical of county facilities, though visitors should contact Portage County Parks or the Wisconsin DNR for specific details about parking, facilities, and any seasonal access restrictions.
The Wisconsin River is a substantial waterway that supports both paddling and motorized boating.

This access point is part of Wisconsin's network of public landings, making it a viable option for day trips or longer river adventures. Be sure to verify hours of operation and any applicable fees in advance by contacting the county or checking the Wisconsin DNR's boat access website at dnr.wi.gov/topic/Lands/boataccess/.
