About This Access Site
The North Forest Haven Road access site offers a public boat ramp and carry-in launch on the Wolf River in Shawano County, Wisconsin. Located in Shawano, this site provides convenient access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to put in on the Wolf River. The ramp is publicly owned and maintained, making it a reliable launching point for paddlers of various skill levels.

The Wolf River is a popular paddling destination in northeastern Wisconsin, offering opportunities for both casual recreational paddling and more adventurous trips.
