Lakeshore Drive

The Lakeshore Drive access site provides public boat launch access to Rice Lake, an 859-acre lake in Barron County, Wisconsin. This is a developed boat ramp facility suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boats. The lake's maximum depth of 19 feet makes it accessible for most recreational watercraft, and multiple public landings around Rice Lake offer paddlers flexibility in planning their routes.

Rice Lake supports a healthy fishery including musky, panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike, and walleye, making it popular with both paddlers and anglers. The lake's moderate size and depth are well-suited for recreational paddling and day trips. For current information about facility conditions, amenities, and any access updates, paddlers should consult the Wisconsin DNR boat access website at dnr.wi.gov/topic/Lands/boataccess/.
