**Location & Basic Info**
Hay Meadow Flowage No. 1 is a small 16-acre lake located in the Town of Cleveland, Chippewa County, Wisconsin. This public boat ramp provides water access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore a quiet, shallow waterway in north-central Wisconsin.
**Water Conditions & Recreation**
The flowage has a maximum depth of 42 feet and supports populations of panfish, largemouth bass, and northern pike, making it suitable for fishing as well as paddling. The small size makes it ideal for beginners or those seeking a calm paddling experience. Before launching, check for any posted boating ordinances or restrictions at the public landing, as regulations vary by Wisconsin waterway.
**Before You Go**
As with all Wisconsin public boat accesses, arrive during daylight hours and be prepared for potential seasonal conditions. This is a good option for a short paddling trip or fishing outing, though paddlers with longer distances in mind may want to explore nearby connected waterways.
