About This Access Site
Norwegian Cemetery is an alternate whitewater access point on Sauk Creek in Port Washington, Ozaukee County. This site provides entry to the creek for paddlers looking to explore this scenic waterway in the greater Milwaukee area. The access appears to be a secondary launch option for those running whitewater sections of Sauk Creek, which is known for its moving current and varying water conditions depending on recent rainfall and seasonal flow rates.

Paddlers using this access should be prepared for whitewater conditions and have appropriate skills for current navigation. The location near a cemetery indicates it may be a smaller, more low-key access point compared to primary launch sites. As with most whitewater creek access, water levels and conditions can change significantly with weather, so it's advisable to check current conditions and recent precipitation before planning a trip.
