Sidie Hollow County Park offers a boat launch providing access to Sidie Hollow Lake and the South Fork Bad Axe River near Viroqua. The 38-acre lake is fed by two clear, cold-water trout streams, making this an excellent destination for kayakers, canoeists, and anglers. The park's 521-acre grounds include camping facilities (74+ campsites), fishing piers, picnic areas, and nearly 10 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, making it a full-service recreation destination for day trips or extended stays.
Paddlers should note that the shoreline in some areas can be steep, which may make boat launching and landing somewhat challenging. The access point provides good parking and is well-suited for exploring the lake and surrounding trout streams. With the South Fork Bad Axe River's clear water and scenic Upper Mississippi River Valley setting, this location is particularly popular with anglers and those seeking quieter paddling in a beautiful natural setting. The park is located in Vernon County, Wisconsin, near Viroqua, and serves as a convenient base for exploring the region's water resources.
