About This Access Site
**Overview & Location**
Castle Rock Park offers a public boat ramp on Castle Rock Lake, a 16,000-acre reservoir located about 12 miles north of Mauston in Dellwood. This is a well-developed county park ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats seeking a large, established launch facility.

**Facilities & Services**
The park features a dedicated boat landing along with extensive amenities including a swimming beach, picnic areas, and nearby camping options (nearly 300 sites available). Day-use passes are required year-round ($5.00). Note that docks are typically removed in November and replaced in March for seasonal operation. The park includes restrooms, showers, and other support facilities making it convenient for day trips or extended stays.

**Lake Conditions & Paddling**
Castle Rock Lake is a substantial 13,955-acre impoundment with a maximum depth of 35 feet, offering stable conditions suitable for various paddle craft and motorboats. Water-skiing and fishing are popular activities here. Before launching, check posted regulations specific to Castle Rock Lake and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for current fishing and boating rules. Help keep the launch area clean and respect all posted guidelines.
