Highway 29 Bridge

The Highway 29 Bridge boat ramp provides public access to the Red Cedar River in Menomonie, making it a convenient launch point for paddlers and boaters exploring this section of the river. Located at the bridge crossing in downtown Menomonie (44.8759°N, 91.9371°W), this access site offers a straightforward entry to the water for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats.

This is a DNR-listed public access site managed as part of Wisconsin's extensive boating infrastructure. Paddlers should note that the Highway 29 Bridge area is scheduled for construction in 2026 involving bridge joint replacement and pavement work; however, the route is expected to remain open with temporary traffic controls during this period. Be sure to check current conditions before your visit, as construction may affect parking or access temporarily.

This access point is well-suited for day trips and exploring the Red Cedar River corridor.
