About This Access Site
Rock Creek is a large river system in Dunn County, Wisconsin, with a total length of 56.17 miles and a drainage area of 1253 square miles. This put-in location in the Town of Rock Creek offers access for longer paddling trips on what is classified as a Stream Order 7 river. With an average gradient of 7.8 feet per mile and average flow of 49.85 cubic feet per second, Rock Creek presents moderate current conditions suitable for paddlers with some river experience.

The water body drops 436 feet in elevation over its course, creating dynamic flow conditions. Average water velocity is 2.12 feet per second, which indicates a steady current that will assist downstream travel. Paddlers planning trips from this access point should be prepared for moving water and should scout conditions before launching. The river's size and classification as a large river means it can accommodate various boat types, though current conditions will influence which are most appropriate.

This access point serves as a viable launch for extended paddling expeditions on Rock Creek. Boaters should check current water levels and flow rates before launching, as conditions can vary seasonally and after precipitation events. The location provides access to a substantial waterway with significant gradient and consistent flow characteristics.
