**Location & Access**
Nome Street provides public boat ramp and carry-in access to Lake Wisconsin in Poynette, Columbia County. This is a publicly-owned access point managed by Wisconsin DNR, offering a convenient launch point for paddlers and boaters exploring this section of the Wisconsin River system.
**What to Expect**
Lake Wisconsin is a dammed section of the Wisconsin River, creating a slower-water paddling environment ideal for kayakers and canoeists of varying skill levels. The access site serves as a good base for exploring the expansive lake and nearby Wisconsin River Islands, many of which offer public recreation opportunities. The proximity to the Leopold Wetland Management District also makes this a strategic access point for nature-focused paddling and wildlife viewing in this ecologically significant area.
**Planning Your Visit**
Before launching, check current conditions with Wisconsin DNR's boat access resources. For specific details about ramp amenities, parking, fees, and hours of operation, contact local Columbia County authorities or visit dnr.wi.gov/topic/Lands/boataccess/.
