About This Access Site

The Eau Claire River offers a mix of paddling conditions, with sections featuring both flowing channels and wider, slower-moving areas.

As with all Wisconsin DNR boat access sites, this is a publicly-owned facility—be sure to check current conditions and any seasonal access updates through the Wisconsin DNR before your visit.
