County Line Road Boat Ramp

County Line Road Access provides a parking lot and short 0. 3-mile mowed trail for anglers and paddlers accessing the Kishwaukee River in Boone County.

The site serves as a convenient put-in for kayaking and canoeing, with roughly 8 miles of paddling available downstream to Belvidere Park District's Red Horse Bend launch.

Parking is available on the McHenry County side of County Line Road (4700 County Line Rd. , Marengo), with the boat launch located directly across the street on the Boone County side.
