About This Access Site
The Herb Mitchell Road access site provides a public boat ramp and carry-in launch point on the Wisconsin River near Tomahawk in Lincoln County. This is a publicly-owned facility managed by Wisconsin DNR, making it a reliable option for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to access this major river system. The location offers a practical entry point for paddlers planning trips on the Wisconsin River corridor.
As with all Wisconsin River boating, state boating regulations apply at this site. Paddlers should be prepared for the typical conditions of the Wisconsin River in this region—a substantial Northwoods waterway that supports various recreational boating activities. Before launching, check current water levels and conditions, as river flows can vary seasonally. For the most up-to-date information on facilities, maintenance status, and any access restrictions, consult the Wisconsin DNR boat access website at dnr.wi.gov/topic/Lands/boataccess/.
