Greenhead Landing

Located on Green Head Road in Mayville, the Greenhead ramp is the primary public access point for paddling the East Branch Rock River near Horicon Marsh. The launch area features adequate parking and a functional ramp across rocky terrain—sturdy footwear is recommended when loading boats. This is a fishing access site without facilities like restrooms, but it provides reliable access for kayakers and canoeists exploring this section of the river.

The ramp serves as a popular put-in for the 6.4-mile paddle downstream to Highway 67/Dam, or as a take-out point for upstream trips from McArthur Road (3.6 miles away). The East Branch flows through a scenic landscape including numerous alternative take-outs and a downstream section through Mayville before entering the broader Horicon Marsh ecosystem. Paddlers should be aware that the water passes through both flowage areas and populated sections, offering a mixed paddling experience.

The proximity to **Horicon National Wildlife Refuge**—one of the largest freshwater marshes in the United States at over 33,000 acres—makes this an excellent launching point for exploring critical wetland habitat. This area serves as an important migratory rest stop for waterfowl and other wildlife, making spring and fall particularly rewarding times to paddle.
