Help Us Expand Paddling Opportunities At Your Park!
​
The Friends of Willow River and Kinnickinnic State Park are thrilled to share the news of an
exciting—and much-needed—project at Willow River State Park.
​
At the heart of this project will be a new Universally Accessible Kayak and Canoe and SUP
Launch designed to provide safe, stable, and convenient access to the spectacular 170-acre Little
Falls Lake for physically challenged paddlers.
​
For many individuals with mobility limitations, the opportunity to glide across open water can bring a profound sense of freedom, independence, and connection to the natural world—an experience too often out of reach. A loading ramp, wheelchair transfer bench along with overhead grab bars and other key accessible features make this all possible with this launch system..
​
Alongside the accessible features, the launch will also serve as a stable, user-friendly entry point for able-bodied kayakers and canoeists, ensuring everyone can enjoy a smooth start to their paddling journey and enjoy the natural beauty and recreational treasures of your park.
