About This Access Site
**Location & Overview**
The Dairyland Reservoir boat ramp is located near Tony in Rusk County, Wisconsin, providing public access to this 1,870-acre impoundment on the Flambeau River system. This is a substantial water body with a maximum depth of 70 feet, offering ample space for kayaking, canoeing, and motorized boating.

**Facilities & Amenities**
This access site features a public boat landing with parking and has been improved to include handicap-accessible areas, making it a family-friendly launch point. The site supports a variety of recreational users, from paddlers seeking calm-water exploration to anglers targeting the reservoir's healthy populations of bass, walleye, northern pike, musky, and panfish.

**Paddling Considerations**
Dairyland Reservoir's large size and depth make it suitable for various paddling skill levels, though paddlers should be prepared for potential wind and motorboat traffic. As an impoundment, the water tends to be calmer than free-flowing river sections, making it accessible for recreational kayakers and canoeists. Check local conditions before launching, particularly regarding wind and water levels.
