**Location & Access:** Mays Point is a public boat ramp located in Necedah on Wisconsin's Castle Rock Lake, providing access to the Wisconsin River system. The site offers both a main boat ramp suitable for larger watercraft and an alternative ramp into a small creek that feeds into the Wisconsin River, making it accessible for kayakers and canoeists seeking calmer entry conditions.
**What to Expect:** Castle Rock Lake can experience rough water conditions, so paddlers should be prepared for variable weather. The main ramp accommodates standard boat launches, while kayakers and canoeists may prefer the creek-side ramp for easier put-in. Note that portage around the dam is possible but requires careful planning. As a public access point, the site is subject to Wisconsin DNR regulations and local rules posted at the launch—please help maintain the area by removing any litter.
**Nearby Recreation:** The Necedah National Wildlife Refuge is located nearby, offering scenic paddling opportunities through historic glacial landscape. Paddlers should review current fishing and boating regulations for Castle Rock Lake through the Wisconsin DNR before visiting, and be aware that other regional landings may charge access fees.
