The White Rapids Dam access point in White Pine Haven provides boat launch access to the Menominee River at the tailwaters of White Rapids Dam, which forms Rosebush Lake. This location is ideal for paddlers and boaters looking to access a substantial river system. The concrete ramp is wide and accommodates various boat types and trailers for launching and retrieval.
The Menominee River is a large, powerful waterway (classified as Stream Order 7) with significant volume and flow. Paddlers should be aware that the river averages 3,491 cubic feet per second with an average velocity of 4.71 feet per second and a gradient of approximately 4.5 feet per mile. These conditions reflect a river with considerable current and energy, particularly near dam structures. Boaters and canoeists should have appropriate skills and experience for moving water conditions and be prepared for swift current and potential hazards associated with dam tailwaters.
This access point serves as a convenient starting location for day trips and longer paddling adventures on this major Wisconsin waterway that drains a 3,957-square-mile watershed.
