About This Access Site
The Newville public boat ramp in Edgerton provides access to the Rock River, a major 299-mile waterway flowing through Wisconsin and Illinois. The ramp is approximately 16 feet wide and is designed to accommodate small boats, canoes, and kayaks, making it a suitable launch point for paddlers of various experience levels.
This access site serves the rural section of the Rock River National Water Trail, offering paddlers the opportunity to explore a scenic stretch of this established paddling corridor. The Rock River is known for its meandering character and provides a mix of pastoral scenery and natural features typical of southern Wisconsin river systems. Paddlers should check current water conditions and consult the Wisconsin DNR's comprehensive boat access database (dnr.wi.gov/topic/Lands/boataccess/) for additional nearby put-ins and take-out options along the river.
