The South boat ramp provides public access to Neshonoc Lake, a 606-acre recreational lake in West Salem, La Crosse County. This shallow lake with a maximum depth of 11 feet is well-suited for kayaking and canoeing, offering a calm water paddling experience. The ramp is conveniently located near a public beach, making it an accessible option for both paddlers and anglers.
Neshonoc Lake supports a healthy fishery including panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike, and catfish, so you may encounter anglers during your visit. The lake's modest size makes it ideal for recreational paddling and day trips. For paddlers interested in exploring additional waterways, the scenic Mississippi River's Pool 7 is located nearby in the Upper Mississippi River Valley, offering additional paddling opportunities in the region.
