Crystal Lake Public Access

Crystal Lake in Lodi offers a public boat ramp access point for paddlers and boaters. The 93-acre lake provides a contained paddling environment suitable for kayakers and canoeists of various skill levels. With a maximum depth of 67 feet, the lake is deep enough for varied water activities and offers scenic paddling opportunities in the Dane County area.

This access site serves as a convenient put-in and take-out point for the lake. While the ramp is shared with motorized boats, it provides reliable lake access for non-motorized watercraft. Plan to launch from the established ramp and be aware that you may encounter recreational boat traffic. The relatively compact size of Crystal Lake makes it manageable for day paddles, and the clear water conditions typical of deeper Wisconsin lakes provide good visibility.

**Practical Note:** Contact the local Parks Department or check current regulations before your visit, as some Wisconsin lake access sites may require permits or have specific seasonal restrictions. Arrive early during peak weekends to ensure adequate parking and launch space.
