About This Access Site
**Location & Facilities**
Edgewater Park is located on the east side of Beaver Dam Lake near Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, accessible off National Avenue. The facility features a two-lane concrete boat ramp with paved parking, making it a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The ramp is approximately 20 feet wide and suitable for a variety of watercraft.

**Paddling Opportunities**
From Edgewater Park, paddlers have access to Beaver Dam Lake and the Beaver Dam River system. The area is particularly appealing for those interested in wildlife viewing, as the nearby Horicon National Wildlife Refuge encompasses over 33,000 acres—one of the largest freshwater marshes in the United States. This makes the region an excellent destination for nature-focused paddling and bird watching. The park is seasonally operated (April 1 – October 31), so plan your visits accordingly.

**Nearby Options**
If you need alternative access points, Derge County Park on the west side of the lake also offers a two-lane concrete ramp with dock and paved parking, providing flexibility for your launch location.
