Boat Ramp
Boat Ramp
This concrete boat ramp at Matsell Bridge Natural Area provides access to the Wapsipinicon River for paddling and fishing, located near the maintenance shop.
The ramp enables approximately a 3-hour float downstream to Stone City, making it ideal for canoe and kayak enthusiasts.
Note that Matsell Park Road will be closed starting November 17, 2024 for bridge replacement (expected completion July 2026), though the primitive campground south of the project site remains accessible.
