About This Access Site
**Location & Facilities**
Bass Lake Boat Landing is located in Chetek, Barron County, and provides paved public access to the 416-acre Bass Lake. The DNR-owned site features two boat launches with paved ramps, two courtesy docks, and a paved parking lot with 17 stalls (including one ADA-accessible space). This makes it a convenient launching point for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats of various sizes.

**What to Know Before You Visit**
Bass Lake has a maximum depth of 35 feet and offers good recreational opportunity for paddlers and anglers. A daily launch fee of $10.00 applies (annual passes available for $30.00). The site is maintained by St. Croix County under a DNR agreement, ensuring reliable facilities and signage. With adequate parking and two launch options, the ramp accommodates multiple watercraft, though space may fill during peak weekends. This is a straightforward, well-maintained access point ideal for day trips on the lake.
