Busse Lake Boat Ramp
Busse Lake Boat Ramp
Busse Lake Boating Center features two concrete trailered boat ramps with gentle inclines for launching canoes, kayaks, rowboats, sailboats, and electric trolling motor boats.
The facility offers ample parking (44 vehicle spaces with trailers), accessible amenities including indoor bathrooms, boat rentals, and a floating pier option; note that concrete blocks can be slippery below the waterline.
The north ramp is preferred over the steeper south ramp, and the center is open April-October with seasonal hours (call 224-415-6554 to confirm availability).
