About This Access Site
This public boat ramp in Tomahawk provides convenient access to the Wisconsin River in Lincoln County. The ramp offers off-street parking and features a pay station that accepts credit cards for launching fees. The location is easily identifiable at the intersection of River Road and Indiana Avenue, making it straightforward to find for both local paddlers and visitors.
The Wisconsin River is a substantial waterway suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. Paddlers should note that state boating regulations apply throughout the river system. This access point is well-positioned for exploring the middle Wisconsin River corridor. Before launching, it's recommended to check current water conditions and be aware that additional private and public access points exist along the river, which may offer alternatives depending on your planned route.
