About This Access Site
The Grogan Road boat ramp in Wausaukee provides public access to the Menominee River, a large, substantial waterway classified as a Class 7 stream. With an average flow of approximately 3,491 cubic feet per second and an average velocity of 4.71 feet per second, paddlers and boaters should expect moderate to strong current conditions. The river's 4.5 ft/mile gradient indicates a river with consistent flow rather than steep drops, making it suitable for experienced canoeists and kayakers comfortable with moving water.

The Menominee River spans 116 miles across the region with a total elevation drop of 521 feet, offering diverse paddling opportunities depending on where you launch and take-out. From the Grogan Road access point near Wausaukee, paddlers can explore varying sections of this northern Wisconsin river. Be prepared for the river's active current and plan accordingly with proper skills and safety equipment. Check local conditions and any seasonal closures before your trip, as winter ice may affect access during cold months.
