About This Access Site
This south-side access point provides convenient launch facilities for the 455-acre Yellowstone Lake, a popular recreational reservoir along the Yellowstone River in southwestern Wisconsin. The ramp is well-maintained and easy to use for both launching and retrieving boats, making it ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboat users. The lake typically experiences moderate boat traffic during summer months and offers clean water conditions for paddling.

Yellowstone Lake State Park surrounds the entire lake and offers multiple amenities beyond water access, including campsites, picnic areas, and a swimming beach. Paddlers will appreciate that the lake accommodates various watercraft including kayaks, canoes, and sailboats. The park features multiple boat launching options (including dedicated canoe launches), and boat rentals and a concession stand are available at the east end during summer months. The area is suitable for both day trips and extended visits, with generally calm conditions and light crowding compared to busier water bodies in the region.
