Section 11 Road

Located in La Valle near the transition zone between Big Creek and Lake Redstone, Section 11 Road provides a public boat access point for paddlers and boaters on the West Branch Big Creek system. This is a carry-in access rather than a developed boat ramp, making it well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small watercraft. The site offers a practical launch point for exploring Lake Redstone and the creek system in the scenic Sauk County area.

This access is particularly popular with paddlers doing round-trip outings or as a shuttle point for longer creek-to-lake expeditions. If you're planning a one-way trip, note that a shuttle to the Highway F Bridge (about 5.6 miles) is an option, though most paddlers opt for round-trip launches from this location. The relatively modest facilities here appeal to paddlers who prioritize convenient water access over developed amenities.

Before heading out, check current water conditions and consult Wisconsin DNR resources for any seasonal access updates. This location is best suited for calm-water paddling on the lake and slower creek sections, making it ideal for recreational kayakers and canoeists rather than whitewater enthusiasts.
