About This Access Site
The Buchman access site provides a convenient boat ramp and fishing dock for launching onto the Wolf River near Shiocton in Outagamie County. The facility sits on 2 acres and includes a large parking lot on the west side of County Road M, with one dedicated handicap-accessible parking space. A small picnic area is also available, making this a practical launch point for day trips on this popular paddling river.

Paddlers should be aware that certain sections of the Wolf River, particularly in Menominee County, require permits from the local tribe. If you're planning to access landings in that area, you'll need to obtain permission in advance. The Upper Wolf River Fishery Area offers multiple access points throughout the region, with varying conditions from scenic boulder gardens and rapids to wider, slower sections downstream.

**Practical Tip:** Popular tubing sections exist on portions of the Wolf River, particularly between Ostrander Road and Highway X (1.4 miles), so expect crowded conditions during peak season. Check local regulations and access requirements before your trip, especially if paddling through tribal lands in Menominee County.
