About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** This public boat access is located in Chetek, Wisconsin, off River Road upstream-left from the Highway 29 bridge, providing convenient entry to the Red Cedar River. The launch consists of a concrete ramp typical of rural Wisconsin access points.

**Facilities & Amenities:** This is a basic, no-frills access site with minimal facilities—expect no restrooms, parking areas, or other amenities. The location is best suited for paddlers and boaters who are self-sufficient and prepared for a rustic launch experience. Parking and turnaround space appear limited, so plan accordingly if towing a larger boat.

**Best For:** This access point works well for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboat operators looking to explore the Red Cedar River in this region. Before launching, check current river conditions and water levels, as Wisconsin river conditions can vary seasonally. The site's upstream location relative to Highway 29 offers good access to both upstream and downstream paddling opportunities on the Red Cedar.
