**Location & Access**
Billings Park is a public boat ramp located in Superior, Wisconsin, on the St. Louis River near its western reach into Lake Superior. The site is easily accessible via the Richard Bong Memorial Bridge, which links Minnesota to the park. Parking is available, though law enforcement regularly patrols the lot—be sure to display your required permit before launching to avoid citation.
**Recreation Opportunities**
Billings Park serves as a primary access point for paddling the St. Louis River's intermediate paddling corridor, with routes spanning 3-12 miles depending on your destination. From here, you can paddle to nearby points like Arrowhead Pier and Woodstock Bay Landing. The river offers beautiful sunset views and proximity to Duluth-Superior Harbor, where you may observe commercial shipping traffic and lighthouses. This location is ideal for kayakers and canoeists exploring both the river and the western end of Lake Superior.
