Lighthouse Harbor

Lighthouse Harbor is a public boat ramp located on the north shore of Lake Winnebago in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. This modest facility offers paved parking for approximately five vehicle-trailer units and provides direct water access to Wisconsin's largest inland lake. The historic lighthouse tower, which marks the entrance to the nearby marina, is closed to the public but visible from the parking area. A small sandy beach adjacent to the ramp adds to the appeal of this scenic location.

This access point is ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and small boat operators launching onto Lake Winnebago. The site supports both summer boating and winter ice fishing activities. Given the limited parking capacity, arrival during off-peak times is recommended, especially on weekends. Paddlers should note that Lake Winnebago is a large, open water body that can develop significant waves in windy conditions, so check weather forecasts before launching. For those seeking additional amenities like restrooms and multiple launch lanes, the Calumet County Parks Department operates three boat harbors on the east shore of the lake.
