Rush Lake - South

Rush Lake South is a gravel boat landing providing access to Rush Lake, a large 2,729-acre freshwater lake in Fond du Lac County near Ripon, Wisconsin. This is one of several public access points around the lake and serves as a convenient launch spot for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The landing accommodates various paddling styles, with paddlers able to plan round-trip routes or explore different sections of the lake.

**What to Expect:** Rush Lake is extremely shallow, with an average depth of just 1.5 feet and a maximum depth of 5 feet, making it ideal for lightweight watercraft like kayaks, canoes, and small skiffs. The lake bottom consists of deep muck, so expect soft conditions underfoot. Boating is best suited for canoes, kayaks, and small boats powered by shallow-water "go-devil" engines. With no significant current, the lake is suitable for leisurely paddling in any direction. The South access point provides a practical entry point for exploring this expansive marsh-like lake, though paddlers should be prepared for shallow-water navigation and muddy launch conditions.
