About This Access Site
Riverside Park offers a public carry-in launch for canoes and kayaks on the Wolf River in New London, Waupaca County. This is an informal access point rather than a developed ramp—a grassy public area along the riverbank with official parking available near the Riverside Park sign. The site is located on the east side of the river; from Highway 110, follow Riverview Drive south to Riverview Court. Amenities include picnic tables, a playground, picnic shelter, restrooms (including accessible facilities), and potable water.

**Important navigation note:** Riverside Park marks the upstream limit for paddling on this section of the Wolf River. Downstream access is blocked by rocks, shallows, and rapids, so this is primarily a put-in location for upstream paddling. Paddlers should plan accordingly and be aware of the river's character before launching. The park operates from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily and includes facilities for both day use and picnicking.
