Gile Flowage - South

The Gile Flowage South boat ramp provides public access to this 3,138-acre lake in Iron County, Wisconsin, near Pence. The ramp is located at the Gile Flowage Recreation Area on the south shore, which offers developed amenities including campsites and facilities. This is a solid choice for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats onto the flowage.

**What to Know Before Launching:** Gile Flowage has a maximum depth of 25 feet and supports populations of musky, panfish, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye. Be aware that the lake's eastern arm can experience funneled winds due to the surrounding shoreline's shape, which may create challenging conditions and a rocky lee shore with significant fetch. If you encounter difficult conditions here, alternative access points exist elsewhere on the flowage. The area is also adjacent to the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, making it a good base for exploring both water and hiking trails in the region.
