South Drive

South Drive is a publicly-owned boat ramp and carry-in access point located in Mosinee along the Wisconsin River's Lake Du Bay impoundment. This access site serves paddlers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to launch onto this portion of the Wisconsin River system in Marathon County. The location provides a convenient entry point for exploring the calmer waters of the lake impoundment created by a local dam.

For kayakers and canoeists, this access offers a good opportunity to paddle the broader, slower-moving waters of Lake Du Bay rather than the main river channel. The site is publicly owned and maintained, making it a reliable option for launching small watercraft. Visitors should note that specific amenities, hours of operation, and any associated fees can be confirmed through the Wisconsin DNR boat access database at dnr.wi.gov/topic/Lands/boataccess/, which maintains the most current information on parking, facilities, and seasonal restrictions for this site.
