This take-out access point on Cedar Creek in the Town of Cedarburg provides an exit location for paddlers completing whitewater runs on this significant waterway. Cedar Creek is a large river system (Stream Order 6) with a substantial drainage area of 1596 square miles and an average gradient of 17.9 feet per mile, indicating moderate to swift current conditions typical of whitewater paddling. The access is located at CTH.T/Lakefield Road and serves as a convenient egress point for kayakers and canoeists navigating the upper portions of this extensive watershed.
With an average flow of 98.94 cubic feet per second and velocity of 2.68 feet per second, paddlers should expect moving water conditions and plan accordingly. The 1105-foot total elevation drop across the creek's 61.81-mile length demonstrates significant gradient variation, so water conditions at this specific take-out will depend on seasonal runoff, recent rainfall, and the particular section being paddled. Paddlers should be aware that this is a substantial river system with considerable discharge volume.
