The Glenville access point on Highway 113 serves as a convenient take-out location for paddlers floating the Baraboo River near Baraboo, Sauk County. This landing is well-suited for canoeists and kayakers completing day trips on this scenic river section. The site provides a straightforward access point for both launching and take-out operations.
The Baraboo River in this area is characterized by gentle current and picturesque scenery, making it popular for recreational paddling trips. A common paddling route involves launching upstream (such as from Fireman's Park in North Freedom) and floating downstream to Glenville, typically a 4-7 hour day trip. The river corridor passes through attractive Wisconsin landscape and offers a relatively manageable paddling experience suitable for various skill levels.
When planning your visit, verify current conditions and parking availability in advance. The nearby Leopold Wetland Management District and Wisconsin River Islands offer additional recreation opportunities in the region.
