About This Access Site
Cadiz Springs offers excellent access to Beckman Lake, a 63-acre water body with a maximum depth of 12 feet located in Green County's scenic bluff country. The recreation area features both a standard boat ramp and a universal kayak launch with accessibility amenities including a transfer bench, handrails, and launch guides. Both Beckman and connected Zander Lake (accessible by portage for kayaks and canoes) are restricted to electric motors only, making them ideal for paddlers seeking quiet water exploration and fishing.

The park provides robust facilities for day-use visitors, including a public beach, nature trails, two large shelters with electricity, and a playground. Paddlers will find plenty of opportunities to explore the shoreline and fish for both warm and cold water species. The accessible kayak launch makes the site particularly welcoming for paddlers of varying abilities. With 93 acres of combined lake surface surrounded by attractive bluffs, this is a solid choice for kayakers and canoeists looking for a well-maintained access point with family-friendly amenities.
