Lions Point Park

Lions Point Park in Marion offers public boat ramp and carry-in access to Marion Pond on the North Branch Pigeon River. This is a developed access site suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. The park features a walking trail that loops around the entire pond, making it a good option for paddlers looking to explore a calmer water body. Bank access is available, though some areas along the shoreline are overgrown with brush.

The pond is known as a productive fishing destination for pike, crappie, and other species, which reflects its relatively calm conditions—ideal for recreational paddling and family outings. Given the presence of vegetation and brush in places, paddlers should be prepared to navigate around obstacles and may want to plan shorter excursions. For current information on access conditions, amenities, and any applicable fees, contact the Waupaca County Parks Department or consult the Wisconsin DNR boat access website.
