**Location & Access**
Located in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Goose Island Hunters Point - 2 is one of four boat ramps within Goose Island County Park on the Mississippi River. The site is accessible via Highway 35 South to County Highway GI West. Multiple launch options are available throughout the park, including dedicated canoe launch areas alongside the ramps.
**What to Expect**
This access point serves the Upper Mississippi River (Pool 7), a major waterway with significant flow averaging 685,000 cubic feet per second. Paddlers should be prepared for strong current and substantial vessel traffic typical of a major river system. While canoe paddling is possible in calm conditions, windy days can make paddling challenging. The site is ideal for launching into scenic Upper Mississippi River Valley waters, with access to designated water trails in the area.
**Practical Information**
Note that some island facilities and access roads operate seasonally (April 15–October 30), so plan accordingly if visiting outside peak season. Goose Island County Park offers amenities at nearby marinas and facilities, including options with camping and services. Contact the park directly for current conditions, any fees, and to confirm which facilities are available during your visit.
