About This Access Site
This take-out access point on Branch Lake Stream in Ellsworth provides a convenient exit for paddlers completing a whitewater run. As a take-out only facility, it is designed specifically for boaters finishing their downstream journey rather than launching. The stream in this area of Hancock County offers whitewater paddling opportunities suitable for those with experience reading moving water and handling boat control in current. Being a dedicated take-out location, paddlers should arrange shuttle logistics in advance, as there is no launch facility at this same site.
