About This Access Site
Blue Wing Lake is a 46-acre strip cut lake located within the Denmark Section of Pyramid State Park in Perry County, Illinois. This access site offers a concrete boat launch with a floating dock, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. Basic amenities include bathroom facilities on-site, providing convenient access for a day of paddling or fishing.
This is a free public access point, though parking is limited at the quarter-acre site. The concrete ramp and floating dock make launching straightforward for small craft and paddlers. Given the lake's modest size and strip-cut nature, it's ideal for casual paddling, fishing, or exploring within the park. Visitors should arrive early during peak times due to limited parking availability, and note that a single bench rest area is available at the site.
