About This Access Site
Located near Lake Tomahawk in Oneida County, the Hwy D boat ramp provides public access to the Wisconsin River. This publicly-owned access point is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boats looking to launch onto this major Wisconsin waterway. The site offers a boat ramp facility, making it convenient for launching small to medium-sized watercraft.
The Wisconsin River is a substantial river system with varying conditions depending on the section. Paddlers should be aware that state boating regulations apply throughout the river. Before visiting, check current water conditions and any seasonal advisories with the Wisconsin DNR, as river levels and flow can vary significantly. Off-street parking is typically available at publicly-maintained access sites like this one, though it's recommended to contact the local DNR office or check ahead for any specific facility details, hours of operation, or amenities available at this particular location.
