Sandhill Station offers a convenient boat ramp for accessing Mud Lake near Lake Mills in Jefferson County. The launch is located at the main landing area, with ample parking available and outhouses nearby. This is a state park facility, so a Wisconsin state park sticker is required—payment can be made at the self-pay station at the entrance.
The site works well for both day-use boaters and those planning an extended paddling trip, as 15 walk-in campsites are available on-site nestled in a secluded oak savannah setting about one mile south of Lake Mills on Mud Lake Road. Amenities include drinking water, toilets, and showers (available at nearby Glacial Drumlin Headquarters). The area is popular for fishing and known for wildlife viewing, including sandhill cranes. This makes Sandhill Station a solid basecamp option for kayakers and canoeists exploring Mud Lake.
