About This Access Site
The Wind Lake public access site offers a concrete plank boat ramp with a moderately steep incline, accessible via Wind Lake Road in Racine County. The facility includes 5 trailer parking spaces and 2 car-only parking spots, with handicap access available. This is the primary public launch option for Wind Lake, making it a convenient entry point for boaters and paddlers.

Wind Lake is a 936-acre drainage lake with an average depth of 9.6 feet and a maximum depth of 52 feet. The lake bottom is predominantly composed of muck and marl (approximately 85%), which is typical for this region. The lake supports a healthy fishery with bluegill, brown trout, largemouth bass, northern pike, and walleye, making it popular with both recreational paddlers and anglers. Water conditions and wind can vary, so check local forecasts before heading out.
