Round Lake County Park

Round Lake County Park in New Auburn provides a well-developed public boat access point for paddlers and boaters exploring this 748-acre lake. The access features a concrete boat ramp with a relatively short approach (less than 50 yards), dedicated parking lot, and ADA-accessible facilities. A dock is available for launching kayaks and canoes, making entry straightforward for paddlers of all experience levels.

This is an ideal spot for recreational paddling on a small, protected inland lake with a maximum depth of 24 feet. The calm waters are suitable for beginners and families, with scenic views for sunrise or sunset paddles. On-site amenities include public restrooms (pit toilets) and parking. The lake is also home to multiple fish species including walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, and panfish, making it appealing to anglers as well.

The wider Round Lake area offers additional recreation opportunities, including the 3.5-mile Round Lake Trail for hiking and nearby facilities in the Hayward area. For planning purposes, note that this is a county park access point with standard public amenities, though you may want to contact Chippewa County Parks for current hours and any seasonal closures.
