About This Access Site
The Birch Street boat ramp provides public access to the Apple River in downtown Amery, located at the end of Birch Street approximately one block north of the ATV trailhead. This is a convenient put-in point for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore this section of the Apple River. The ramp offers straightforward access to the water and serves as a popular starting point for both day trips and longer paddling ventures.
This access point is well-suited for fishing and recreational paddling, with nearby areas known for bass, pike, and musky. Paddlers should note that the Amery Dam is located downstream on this section of the river. If you're planning to paddle beyond the dam area, be aware that portage options are available on the east side of the dam. Check current water conditions before launching, as river levels and flow can vary seasonally. The location's proximity to town amenities makes it a practical choice for paddlers seeking accessible river access in the area.
