About This Access Site
**Location & Access**
Manawa Millpond offers public boat access via a boat landing located off Riverview Drive in Manawa, Waupaca County. The ramp is situated at Little Wolf Park on County Highway N, providing convenient entry to this 180-acre millpond on the Little Wolf River.

**Water Conditions & Recreation**
The millpond has a maximum depth of 12 feet and is suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and motorboats. The water body is popular for fishing, with panfish, largemouth bass, and northern pike present. Paddlers should note that the Little Wolf River below the millpond transitions into a larger waterway with some rapids downstream, though conditions vary seasonally. This is primarily a flatwater paddling area on the millpond itself.

**Important Considerations**
Water levels can fluctuate seasonally, and paddlers should check current conditions before visiting. All waterway activities remain regulated by the Department of Natural Resources regardless of water level changes. The millpond is a good launching point for those seeking calm water paddling or fishing access in the area.
