About This Access Site
Wandawega Lake is a 120-acre recreational lake located in Elkhorn, Walworth County, offering public boat access via a dedicated ramp. The lake features a maximum depth of 8 feet with moderately clear water, making it suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and motorboating. The lake bottom is primarily muck (75%) with sand and gravel mix, which is typical for this region and generally provides stable launching conditions.
This access point is ideal for paddlers seeking a smaller, sheltered lake experience. The shallow depth and moderate water clarity make it well-suited for recreational paddling and fishing, with populations of panfish, largemouth bass, and northern pike. Due to the lake's modest size and depth, conditions are typically calm, making it a good option for beginners or those looking for a relaxed paddle. For specific details about parking, facilities, and current conditions, contact local Walworth County recreation resources or check the Wisconsin DNR website for any seasonal access updates.
