**Location & Facilities**
Recreation Park in Neenah provides convenient access to Lake Winnebago via a double boat ramp. The facility features a paved parking area and is part of a larger park with picnic areas and walking trails. This is an excellent launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters heading onto Wisconsin's largest inland lake.
**Lake Overview**
Lake Winnebago is a massive freshwater lake covering approximately 137,700 acres in east-central Wisconsin. All watercraft types are permitted, including kayaks, canoes, motorized boats, and sailboats. Paddlers should be aware that the lake is popular for both recreational boating and fishing, so expect potential motor boat traffic. Make sure to carry appropriate safety equipment and familiarize yourself with local speed limit regulations before launching.
**Getting Started**
The double ramp configuration makes it straightforward for multiple paddlers to launch simultaneously. The park's location on the lake's shore provides direct water access without portaging. Given Lake Winnebago's size and popularity, paddlers should check current conditions and weather before heading out, and consider launching early to avoid peak boating times.
