About This Access Site
**Location & Facilities**
East Side Beach is located at 631 N Main St in Oconto Falls, Wisconsin, providing convenient public access to the Oconto Falls Pond on the Oconto River. This city-maintained launch serves as one of two primary boat access points in Oconto Falls. The site includes a sandy beach area and basic amenities, making it suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats.
**Recreation Opportunities**
The Oconto Falls Pond is well-suited for paddling, fishing, and water sports. Paddlers will find calm conditions ideal for recreational kayaking and canoeing, while anglers frequent the pond for fishing opportunities. The area also features picnic facilities and nearby parks, making it a good spot for a full day of water recreation. Oconto Falls offers a second access point at West Side Beach if you're exploring both sides of the river.
**Getting Started**
Before launching, confirm current water conditions and any seasonal restrictions with the City of Oconto Falls. The site's sandy beach and established facilities make it relatively beginner-friendly, though paddlers should always wear a personal flotation device and check local weather conditions.
