About This Access Site
The McConnell Street boat ramp provides public access to Lake Waubesa, a freshwater drainage lake in the Fitchburg/Madison area of Dane County. Located at 4332 McConnell Street in Madison, this is one of four public launch points on the lake and offers a convenient starting point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The ramp is publicly owned and maintained, making it a reliable option for recreational paddlers.

Lake Waubesa is a moderate-sized inland lake well-suited for paddling activities. Paddlers can expect calm to moderate conditions typical of Wisconsin drainage lakes. The access point provides straightforward boat launch capabilities for various watercraft types. For those planning a visit, it's recommended to contact local park management at 1-262-370-8524 or check for any current facility information and hours of operation before heading out.
