Wisconsin River Access

Wisconsin River Access in Vilas County offers multiple public boat landing points along the river, including carry-in and improved ramp options at locations such as Otter Rapids Dam, County Highway K, Highway 45, Highway 70, Highway G, River Road, and Rummels Road.

These access points serve as gateways for the Wisconsin River Centennial Trail paddling routes, which feature multi-day canoe trips with portages around dams and varying distances (9-11. 5 hours of paddling).

The river provides opportunities for both motorized and non-motorized recreation, with some landings offering gravel or paved ramps while others are carry-in only.
