About This Access Site
Pioneer Park provides public boat access to Prairie Farm Flowage, a 33-acre lake in Barron County. This shallow waterbody, with a maximum depth of 8 feet, is well-suited for kayaking and canoeing. The ramp is conveniently located in Prairie Farm and offers parking near the launch area, making it an accessible starting point for exploring the flowage.

The lake supports a healthy fishery including panfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye, making it popular with anglers as well as paddlers. Be prepared for shallow-water conditions typical of flowages, and watch for small boat traffic during peak use times. This is a straightforward, family-friendly access point for casual paddling and fishing on a manageable-sized water body.
