Lynxville Landing provides public access to Pool 9 of the Mississippi River, a major recreational corridor in Wisconsin's scenic Upper Mississippi River Valley. Located on the Wisconsin (left/west) side of the river at mile marker 814.3L, this ramp offers straightforward launch and takeout for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The landing features adequate parking and appears to have good accessibility based on user reports, with ramps typically remaining clear and wide open for launching.
Paddlers should be prepared for the Mississippi's significant character at this location: it's a major river system averaging 685,000 cubic feet per second flow with water velocities around 11 feet per second. The main channel is wide and generally open, making it suitable for various skill levels, though current and commercial river traffic should be expected. Pool 9 offers scenic views of the Upper Mississippi River Valley and opportunities to explore a historic waterway. The nearby Effigy Mounds National Monument and Corps of Engineer project lands provide additional cultural and natural attractions in the area.
