About This Access Site
**Location & Access**
Located 6 miles southwest of Fort Atkinson in Jefferson County, this public boat launch provides access to Lake Koshkonong at the north end of Vinnie Haha Road. To reach the site, take Koshkonong Mounds Road one mile west of Highway 26. The launch and pier are currently open to the public year-round.

**Facilities & Parking**
The launch area includes a boat ramp, pier, and dedicated parking lot. This is one of several public launch points on Lake Koshkonong and can help distribute traffic from other busy ramps in the area. Note that some seasonal parking lots in the region close during winter months, so confirm availability before visiting in colder seasons.

**Paddling Considerations**
Lake Koshkonong is a large, relatively flat water body suitable for kayaking and canoeing. The Rock River also connects to this system for those interested in river paddling. Conditions can vary with weather, so check wind direction and water conditions before launching, especially for smaller watercraft. This access point is ideal for exploring Gilbert Bay and the broader lake system.
