Access map
Put-in
Dassow Park river accessRiver Park is the selected public take-out before the Sheboygan Falls / dam sequence. Do not continue downstream casually.
Take-out
River Park canoe rampHighway TT and Highway C are corridor references rather than fully confirmed primary landings; scout before using either as a bailout.
Road shuttle
Stage River Park in Sheboygan Falls first, then drive back to Dassow Park. Confirm the downstream take-out before launch because the route finishes above the Sheboygan Falls / dam hazard area.
Additional access notes
- Dassow Park is a clean public start, but low water can make the first miles slow and scratchy.
More route and safety guidance
- Below 170 cfs, expect broad shallow riffles, scraping, and slow boulder weaving. Around 400 cfs or with a rising hydrograph, current and the downstream hazard sequence deserve extra caution.
- Use public parks and mapped access points only. Banks become increasingly urban or private near Sheboygan Falls, and informal dam-area take-outs are not assumed legal.

These notes cover the access details, route quirks, and source caveats most likely to matter once you get there.
- Route and threshold reportDassow Park to Sheboygan Falls, 170 cfs minimum; 200-300 cfs ideal
Miles Paddled documents the practical downstream route from Dassow, publishes the Dassow Park GPS point, and ties minimum/ideal guidance to the Sheboygan gauge.
- Route split rationaleRiver Park exit before falls/dam
Miles Paddled describes the falls/dam area as a separate hazard context with no official dam-side take-out, while River Park has public access and parking immediately upstream.
- Upper access-chain corroborationDassow to Highway TT / Highway C / Sheboygan Falls
Wisconsin River Trips lists the Dassow-to-Sheboygan-Falls downstream continuation by public bridge and park segments, supporting this middle-river access chain.
