About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Morsbach Shoo-Fly is a public boat ramp and park located in Ella, Pepin County, near the town of Durand. It serves as the only public access point onto the Chippewa River between Durand and Pepin, making it a critical launching spot for paddlers exploring this section of the river. The site is approximately 25 minutes south of Eau Claire or Menomonie.
**What to Expect:** This modest public landing provides boat ramp access to the Chippewa River. The site includes basic facilities typical of a public access area. Paddlers should note that this access point is particularly valuable for those planning extended trips on the Chippewa, as the next public access upstream or downstream may be at some distance. The river at this location is suitable for kayaks, canoes, and recreational boaters.
**Planning Your Trip:** Before visiting, contact local DNR offices or check the Wisconsin DNR website for current conditions, seasonal water levels, and any maintenance updates. This access site makes an ideal starting point for day trips or longer paddles on the Chippewa River. Parking availability and amenity details should be confirmed ahead of your visit.
