About This Access Site
The Poysippi boat ramp provides access to the Pine River, a medium-sized stream (Stream Order 5) with a moderate gradient of 3.9 ft/mile and an average flow of 367 cubic feet per second. Located in Waushara County near the city of Poy Sippi, this access point offers a good launching location for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats exploring this 104-mile waterway. The river features an elevation drop of 405 feet over its course, creating dynamic current conditions—particularly along the left shore in the upper sections—that gradually diminish as the river approaches Lake Poygan.

Paddlers should be prepared for varying water conditions, with current being most noticeable in the initial stretches and eventually disappearing as the river reaches Lake Poygan's "sea level." The Pine River corridor offers scenic paddling with sandbars for rest stops and wildlife viewing opportunities. Users should follow Wisconsin's CLEAN, DRAIN AND DRY requirements and consult the Wisconsin DNR's comprehensive boat access database at dnr.wi.gov for additional landing options, as public access points vary along the river's length. Weather and water levels can significantly affect paddling conditions, so check current river conditions before launching.
