About This Access Site
**Location & Amenities**
Barker Park is a publicly-owned boat ramp and access site located in Shiocton along the Wolf River in Outagamie County. The site features a dedicated boat ramp, large parking area accessible off Old 54 Road, and picnic facilities, making it a convenient launch point for recreational paddlers and boaters.

**Best For**
This access point is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats looking to explore the Wolf River. The developed parking and ramp infrastructure make it an easier launch option compared to carry-in sites, though paddlers should check current river conditions before heading out. The Wolf River offers scenic paddling with varying sections suitable for different skill levels.

**Planning Your Visit**
As a public DNR-managed access site, Barker Park offers reliable year-round access to the water. Arrive early during peak seasons to secure parking, and consider stopping at nearby Buchman Access (also on the Wolf River) if you're planning a longer paddling trip with shuttle options.
