About This Access Site
Round Lake Boat Ramp in Bruce, Rusk County, Wisconsin, offers a developed access point for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters looking to explore a scenic inland lake. The concrete ramp features a paved boat landing with good accessibility—the launch area spans less than 50 yards, making it manageable for most paddlers. Parking is available on-site, and pit toilets are provided for visitor convenience.

Round Lake works well for paddlers of all skill levels, including first-time boaters. The lake connects to a chain of waterways including Pike, Amik, and Turner lakes, offering opportunities for longer explorations. The area is surrounded by several public amenities, including picnic areas and a swimming beach, plus the scenic 3.5-mile Round Lake Trail that circles the lake—useful for pre-paddle scouting or post-paddle hiking.

The ramp is located within the Chequamegon National Forest and also serves as a trailhead for the Flambeau Motorized Trail. This is an ideal spot for sunrise and sunset paddles in a relatively protected, scenic setting.
