About This Access Site
The Bass Lake public access site in Waupaca offers convenient launch facilities for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore this 416-acre lake. Located in the Town of Somerset, the DNR-owned facility features two paved boat launches and two courtesy docks, making it easy to get watercraft into the water. The site includes a paved parking lot with 17 vehicle/trailer stalls (one ADA accessible), providing ample space for day-use visitors.

Bass Lake reaches a maximum depth of 35 feet, making it suitable for a variety of paddling and boating activities. A daily launch fee of $10 applies (or $30 annually), and the site is maintained through a cooperative agreement between St. Croix County and the Wisconsin DNR. Whether you're launching a kayak for a leisurely paddle or towing a larger boat, this well-maintained public access point offers straightforward, paved access to get you on the water.
