Lake Wisconsin Boat Access - Okee Access

The Old Sauk Road boat ramp provides public access to Lake Wisconsin, a reservoir section of the Wisconsin River near Lodi in Columbia County. This is a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore this portion of the river system. The site offers a traditional boat ramp suitable for various watercraft, making it accessible for paddlers of different skill levels.

Lake Wisconsin offers a different paddling experience than the flowing river sections upstream. From this access point, paddlers can explore the calmer, wider water characteristic of the reservoir. The area is well-positioned for day trips and recreational paddling, with multiple other boat landings throughout the region providing additional exploration options. The nearby Wisconsin River Islands and Leopold Wetland Management District offer scenic paddling destinations and wildlife viewing opportunities for those looking to venture further.

Sauk County maintains an extensive network of over 25 boat landings and 10+ canoe launches in the region, giving paddlers plenty of alternatives if conditions or preferences change. Check current water conditions and local regulations before launching, and note that the Wisconsin River's character varies significantly between reservoir sections and flowing segments upstream.
