About This Access Site
This boat ramp provides access to Laurel Lake and the extensive Three Lakes and Eagle River Chain of Lakes system in Oneida County. The ramp is located near Laurel Lake Campground, which offers a convenient basecamp option for paddlers and boaters planning extended trips on the chain. To reach the access site, travel 4 miles east of Three Lakes on WI-32 to Chicken in the Woods Road, then follow the directions north through Fourmile Road and west on Leatzow Road (approximately 2.4 miles total from the highway).

The Three Lakes Chain encompasses 28 lakes with nearly 11,500 acres of water and 174 miles of shoreline, making it an excellent destination for kayakers and canoeists seeking varied paddling opportunities. Note that portions of the Thoroughfare have designated slow-no-wake zones, particularly near bridges and residential areas, so plan accordingly. The area is popular for fishing (musky, walleye, and northern pike), as well as boating and swimming. For campground reservations at Laurel Lake or additional information, contact (715) 479-2827.
