About This Access Site
**Location & Access**
North Mead Lake County Park offers free public boat launch access to Mead Lake and the South Fork Eau Claire River in Greenwood, Clark County. The ramp is conveniently located at the county park campground, making it an easy entry point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The facility includes paved roads and well-maintained amenities.
**Lake & Facilities**
Mead Lake is a 310-acre lake with a maximum depth of 16 feet, offering calm water conditions suitable for paddlers of all skill levels. Beyond the boat launch, the park provides excellent support facilities including drinking water, flush toilets, shower houses, picnic areas, and fishing access. The campground also offers campsites with electrical hookups for those planning overnight trips. This makes it an ideal base for exploring the South Fork Eau Claire River system.
**What to Expect**
The park is popular for fishing (Musky, Walleye, Bass, and Panfish are present) and recreational boating. While the ramp accommodates motorized boats, paddlers will find plenty of water to explore. Plan to check current conditions and water levels before heading out, particularly if you intend to continue paddling beyond the lake into the river proper.
