Hillsdale-Wade Branch North

Located in Edgerton near Hillsdale Lake in Miami County, Kansas, this primitive boat ramp provides access to Wade Branch for canoeists, kayakers, and small boat operators. The ramp is part of the Hillsdale Lake recreation area managed by the Kansas State Park System. Note that this is a primitive access point with no dock facilities, so users should be prepared for a basic launch experience suitable for smaller watercraft.

The site is ideal for paddlers interested in exploring Wade Branch's quieter waters, where fishing opportunities include catfish and crappie. Given its proximity to the larger Hillsdale Lake recreation area (located about 40 minutes away), this access point serves as a good alternative for those seeking a more low-key paddling experience. It's recommended to arrive prepared for minimal facilities and to check local conditions before launching, particularly during periods of heavy rainfall that could affect water levels and flow.
