Kort Street Landing Park in Schofield offers convenient access to Lake Wausau and the Wisconsin River with two dedicated boat launch sites. The 25-acre park features 4,600 feet of river frontage, including island exploration opportunities, making it an excellent base for kayaking, canoeing, and boating. The scenic location provides views of Granite Peak and Rib Mountain, and the park includes walking trails, a fishing pier, picnic areas, and shaded spaces for visitors.
Lake Wausau reaches depths of up to 30 feet and supports a healthy fishery with musky, panfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye. **Important note for boaters:** This landing is located near the Rothschild Dam, and specific ordinances govern boating below the dam on the Wisconsin River. Boaters should review the local ordinance (available at ecode360.com/15467184) before launching to ensure compliance with water safety regulations in this area.
