About This Access Site
Cruise Lane offers convenient public access to Whitewater Lake, a 625-acre recreational lake in Walworth County. This launch point is one of several public ramps serving the lake, making it a practical alternative to the State Park Boat Launch if you prefer easier parking or shorter access routes. The ramp accommodates kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats, providing straightforward put-in and take-out for paddlers exploring the lake.

Whitewater Lake reaches a maximum depth of 35 feet and supports populations of panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike, and walleye, attracting both paddlers and anglers. Note that water clarity is low, which is typical for this lake. If you're parking at the site, check current regulations regarding any required passes or fees, as access requirements may vary depending on the specific location and season. The lake's size makes it suitable for recreational paddling trips of varying distances.
