About This Access Site
The Indian Hills Drive boat ramp provides public access to Lake Altoona, a 720-acre lake in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Located at 522 Indian Hills Drive, this is a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the lake. The ramp is publicly owned and maintained, making it an accessible option for recreational paddlers and anglers.

Lake Altoona has a maximum depth of 25 feet and features low water clarity. The lake supports populations of musky, panfish, smallmouth bass, and walleye, making it popular with anglers. In addition to the boat ramp access at Indian Hills Drive, the lake offers a public beach and additional public boat landings. Paddlers should be prepared for variable water conditions and plan accordingly based on current wind and weather.
