The Town Road 41 access site provides boat launch facilities on the Menominee River in Marinette County. This concrete ramp accommodates various vessel types and is conveniently located near US 41, making it a straightforward entry point for paddlers and motorboats heading onto the river.
The Menominee River is a large, powerful waterway (classified as a 7th-order stream) with significant current and volume. Paddlers should expect average flow rates around 3,491 cubic feet per second and water velocities averaging 4.7 feet per second. With an average gradient of 4.5 feet per mile and notable elevation changes along its 116-mile length, this is an active river best suited for experienced paddlers aware of current conditions. The river's substantial drainage basin (nearly 4,000 square miles) means water levels can fluctuate with weather and dam operations upstream.
Before launching, check current water conditions and any advisories through the Wisconsin DNR. For complete information on facilities, fees, and hours of operation, contact Marinette County or visit the Wisconsin DNR boat access database at dnr.wi.gov/topic/Lands/boataccess/.
