About This Access Site
Located in Eagle River, Vilas County, this public boat ramp provides paved launch access to 270-acre Muskellunge Lake. The ramp accommodates kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats, making it a convenient starting point for exploring this moderately-sized lake. With a maximum depth of 19 feet and mean depth of 9 feet, the lake offers relatively shallow conditions suitable for various paddling skill levels.

The lake supports a diverse fishery including musky, northern pike, walleye, largemouth bass, and panfish. Note that water clarity is low, which is typical for many northern Wisconsin lakes. The paved ramp and public roadway access make this site user-friendly for launching and retrieving boats. For current conditions, specific hours, facilities, and any associated fees, check the Wisconsin DNR website at dnr.wi.gov/topic/Lands/BoatAccess/ or contact local authorities in Eagle River.
