About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Troy Mills Wildlife Area offers a hard-surface boat ramp on the left riverbank of the Wapsipinicon River in Buchanan County, near Troy Mills, Iowa. The 63-acre site provides dedicated river access for canoes, kayaks, and motorboats, with the ramp clearly marked as you approach along the river.
**Facilities & Activities:** This is one of six hard-surface boat ramps along the Wapsipinicon between Independence Dam and Troy Mills. Beyond the ramp, the wildlife area offers hiking trails and shoreline access for fishing. The area is known for smallmouth bass and walleye, making it popular with anglers. Water levels and flow conditions can vary seasonally, so check current conditions before paddling, especially if planning trips downstream or upstream from this access point.
**Planning Your Visit:** The Wapsipinicon River in this section accommodates small to medium-sized boats and is well-established for paddle sports and fishing. As a wildlife area, expect a more natural setting than developed parks. Contact Iowa Department of Natural Resources for information on seasonal access, parking, or any specific regulations.
