About This Access Site
The 730th Street boat ramp in Meridean provides public access to the Chippewa River in Dunn County. This is a straightforward launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to access this popular paddling and fishing destination in northwestern Wisconsin.
The Chippewa River is a substantial waterway suitable for various skill levels, though paddlers should be aware of common river hazards including sandbars, rocks, and occasional driftwood. The area offers scenic paddling opportunities with access to broader water systems downstream. Before launching, check local water conditions and current levels, as river flow can vary seasonally.
For specific details about ramp conditions, parking availability, amenities, or any access restrictions, contact the Dunn County Parks Department or the Wisconsin DNR. This location serves as a convenient entry point for exploring this section of the Chippewa River system.
