About This Access Site
**Location & Parking:** Chain Lake is located in Eagle River, Oneida County, and is part of the Chain O'Lakes system. This boat ramp provides public access to the lake with parking available for vehicles with small watercraft and trailers.

**Access & Facilities:** Chain Lake is one of several lakes in the Chain O'Lakes accessible via county boat launches. A Wisconsin County boat launch pass is valid at this site, along with Columbia, Taylor, Dake, Miner, and McCrossen Lakes. The ramp accommodates kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. Note that much of the surrounding shoreline is private property, so plan your paddling accordingly within public waters.

**Nearby Alternatives:** If Chain Lake is at capacity or unavailable, other nearby boat launches on the Chain O'Lakes system include Miner Lake, Dake Lake, and Columbia Lake, all accessible with the same county launch pass.
