Dauls Street

The Dauls Street access point provides launch and takeout access to the Big Eau Pleine River near Mosinee in Marathon County. This location is well-suited for paddlers looking to explore the scenic upstream sections of the river, which feature rock outcrops and natural rock walls—particularly between Highway M and Highway 153 (approximately 0.9 miles of scenic paddling). The ramp offers convenient access for kayakers and canoeists interested in shorter day trips or exploring the river's character before paddling into the larger reservoir.

The Big Eau Pleine Reservoir itself is a substantial freshwater body covering approximately 6,348 acres with a maximum depth of 46 feet, offering plenty of room for paddling, boating, and fishing. Water clarity is low, so paddlers should use appropriate navigation caution. The area is home to musky, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye. From Dauls Street, paddlers can venture downstream into the reservoir or explore the river upstream; longer excursions can extend 13+ miles toward the reservoir dam. This is a public access point managed for recreational use.
