Legion Auxillary Park

Legion Auxiliary Park in Horicon offers a convenient boat ramp for accessing the Rock River, a major waterway with significant flow and current. The Rock River is a substantial stream (classified as a major river with an average flow of 8,774 cubic feet per second) that drops approximately 308 feet over its 299-mile length. Paddlers should be prepared for moderate current conditions, with average velocities around 4.5 feet per second, making this suitable for experienced kayakers and canoeists rather than beginners.

The park provides basic facilities including a boat ramp, parking for vehicles and trailers, and access to the river at this Horicon location in Dodge County. The site is well-maintained and offers a straightforward launch point for day trips or longer paddling adventures. Nearby, the Horicon National Wildlife Refuge encompasses over 33,000 acres of freshwater marsh—one of the largest in the United States—providing excellent wildlife viewing opportunities and critical habitat along the river corridor.

Before launching, check with local authorities regarding any permits or specific regulations for this access point, and consider the river's significant flow and current when planning your paddling route and skill level requirements.
