About This Access Site
The Groeler Road boat ramp provides public access to the Rock River in Fort Atkinson and is managed by Jefferson County. Located in Klement Park, this is a straightforward access point with a paved boat ramp and parking lot. To reach the launch, take Business Highway 26 (exit 17 from WI-26), then turn left on Groeler Road and drive 0.7 mile west to the parking area. The site offers scenic views of the Rock River, making it a convenient put-in or take-out for paddlers exploring this section of the waterway.

**Important Note:** Before visiting, check Jefferson County Parks for current conditions, as the Groeler Road launch has experienced temporary closures. Daily and annual launch permits are required and can be obtained at the launch site or online through Jefferson County. This access point works well for kayakers and canoeists looking to paddle the Rock River in this region.
