About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Burnett Ditch Road provides a public boat ramp and carry-in access point to Burnett Ditch in Dodge County, Wisconsin. This is a convenient launch site for paddlers and small boaters looking to explore the waterway.

**Paddling Opportunities:** The access site offers a gateway to Burnett Ditch and provides proximity to the renowned Horicon Marsh, one of the largest freshwater marshes in the United States at over 33,000 acres. This area is a significant natural resource and important migratory stopover for waterfowl. Paddlers should expect shallow marsh habitat typical of the region, making it suitable for canoes and kayaks.

**Planning Your Visit:** As a day-use access site, plan accordingly for your paddling trip. Check current water conditions before launching, as marsh areas can have variable depth and seasonal water level changes. The site provides basic access for launching your watercraft; verify specific amenities and any applicable regulations through the Wisconsin DNR's boat access website before your visit.
