Lake Kegonsa State Park Boat Access

Lake Kegonsa State Park in Stoughton provides convenient public boat access to one of southern Wisconsin's largest lakes. The 3,200-acre lake features a maximum depth of 31-32 feet, making it suitable for various watercraft including kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The boat ramp is located within the state park, which also offers amenities such as a swimming beach, picnic areas with reservable shelters, and camping facilities nearby.

The lake supports diverse fishing opportunities with species including musky, panfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, northern pike, walleye, and catfish. Paddlers and boaters should note that Lake Kegonsa is a larger, deeper impoundment rather than a river, so expect typical lake conditions. The state park setting provides access to hiking trails and additional recreational facilities beyond just water access. Multiple public boat landings serve the lake, giving paddlers flexibility in access points throughout the area.
