The Bass Lake public access site, located in Tripoli near the Town of Somerset in Oneida County, offers a well-maintained launch facility for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The site features two boat ramps with paved access, two courtesy docks for loading/unloading, and a 17-stall paved parking lot (including one ADA-accessible space). This makes it a convenient option for paddlers looking to access the 416-acre lake.
Bass Lake reaches a maximum depth of 35 feet, making it suitable for recreational paddling and fishing. The DNR-owned facility is maintained by St. Croix County and requires either a daily ($10) or annual ($30) park and boat launch fee. With its reliable infrastructure and dock amenities, Bass Lake is a good choice for paddlers of varying experience levels who want straightforward water access in the Northwoods.
