About This Access Site
Located in Watertown, Fannie P. Lewis Park offers a well-maintained public boat ramp for accessing the Rock River. The 4-acre park features a dedicated boat/canoe ramp, ample parking for vehicles and trailers, and restrooms. The facility is neatly maintained with clear parking lot demarcation. This is a straightforward launch site ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to put in on the Rock River.

Boaters should note that launch permits are required and can be obtained daily or as annual passes at the site or online. The park also provides picnic facilities and shelter, making it a good spot for a full day on the water. Tie-up docking is restricted at the launching ramps themselves, though transient docking is available at nearby Rotary Waterfront Park and Rock River Landing Park if needed.
