About This Access Site
Brothertown Harbor is a well-maintained public boat launch located on the north shore of Lake Winnebago near Chilton in Calumet County. The facility features a paved parking area accommodating five car/trailer units and includes multiple launch lanes suitable for kayaks, canoes, and larger boats. Recent improvements include dredging of the harbor, a new breakwater, navigational aids, and expanded facilities on the 9-acre property.

**Access Requirements:** A Calumet County seasonal boat permit is required ($35-40, depending on current pricing) and must be displayed on your trailer. Alternatively, the Tri-County permit is valid here and at other Winnebago, Fond du Lac, and Calumet County boat landings, offering flexibility if you plan to explore multiple access points on Lake Winnebago. The site is open for year-round access, including winter ice fishing.

This is a solid choice for paddlers launching onto Wisconsin's largest inland lake, offering good infrastructure and convenient parking near the launch area.
