The Gratiot Conservation Club provides a convenient boat ramp access point to the Pecatonica River in southwestern Wisconsin's Lafayette County. This location offers a good launching point for paddlers and boaters looking to explore this popular river destination for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing.
From this access site, paddlers can enjoy various trip options along the Pecatonica. The section downstream toward Highway 11/Browntown spans approximately 8.8 miles and offers scenic paddling through valleys with ridge formations. The river in this area flows partly through a State Natural Area, providing opportunities to experience the region's natural landscape. Plan your trip duration based on your paddling speed and desired distance, as multiple access points exist both upstream and downstream for flexible route options.
