About This Access Site
Located at the intersection of US 10 and River Road in Stevens Point, this public boat ramp provides convenient access to the Wisconsin River in Portage County. The site is well-positioned for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to launch into this major Wisconsin waterway. The Wisconsin River in this area is a substantial, flowing river popular for both day trips and extended paddling adventures.
This access point is ideal for exploring the middle section of the Wisconsin River, which offers moderate current and varied scenery typical of central Wisconsin. The ramp location makes it accessible for a range of water sports and skill levels. For paddlers planning trips in this area, check current water conditions and flow rates before launching, as the river's character can vary seasonally. Additional boat landings are available throughout Sauk and Portage Counties if you're planning multi-day trips or exploring different sections of the river.
