About This Access Site
The Park Falls Boat Ramp is a developed access point on the Flambeau River in Price County, Wisconsin, offering a well-maintained launch for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. Located within the Medford - Park Falls Ranger District, the facility features a dedicated boat ramp along with nearby amenities including 25 rustic campsites (some reservable), drinking water, vault toilets, and picnic areas. This access point works well for paddlers planning multi-day trips, as there is no charge for overnight parking at established river landings.
The Flambeau River offers excellent paddling for all skill levels, featuring gentle currents and scenic flatwater sections suitable for beginners as well as more experienced paddlers. From Park Falls, you're positioned between other established landings—approximately 2.6 miles downstream from Hines Park and several more miles toward Dix Dox Landing. The river includes lazy flatwater with boulders and occasional riffles, making it an engaging paddle without extreme technical difficulty. Fishing is also popular in this area; plan accordingly if that's part of your trip.
Local outfitters in the Park Falls area offer kayak, canoe, and paddleboard rentals if you don't have your own equipment. The surrounding Flambeau Trail System provides additional recreation options for those interested in multi-sport trips.
