River Bend Park is a well-maintained public boat access site located on the south side of the dam in Horicon, providing convenient launch facilities for paddlers and boaters heading onto the Rock River's flowage toward Sinissippi Lake. The 4-acre park features an updated boat/canoe ramp, adequate parking for vehicles and trailers, restrooms, picnic facilities, and a shelter. This location serves as an ideal starting point for those looking to explore the lower Rock River and connected waterways.
The park is one of four convenient boat launches in the Horicon area, with River Bend Park being the southern access point. The site is well-maintained and offers a scenic setting with open space and recreational amenities. Its location on the Rock River makes it suitable for various paddling activities, from casual canoe outings to motorboat access. Nearby, the expansive Horicon National Wildlife Refuge—one of the largest freshwater marshes in the United States at over 33,000 acres—offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities and additional paddling exploration for those willing to venture north of the dam.
