Spirit River Flowage - Highway 86

The Highway 86 boat ramp provides convenient public access to Spirit River Flowage, a 1,220-acre impoundment in Lincoln County near Tomahawk. This is an excellent launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters exploring the flowage's open water sections. The ramp is located approximately 2.0 miles from the Evergreen Road Landing, making it a central access point for paddlers looking to explore different areas of the lake.

Spirit River Flowage features a maximum depth of 25 feet and offers diverse paddling opportunities across its open water portions. The flowage supports healthy populations of Musky, Northern Pike, Walleye, Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass, and Panfish, making it popular with anglers. Paddlers should note that portions of the lake narrow to approximately 450 feet wide, which can create interesting paddling dynamics depending on wind and water conditions. This public access point is ideal for both day trips and those looking to explore multiple sections of the flowage.
