Olbrich Park Access
Olbrich Park Access
Olbrich Park offers public boat access to Lake Monona via Starkweather Creek with separate motorboat and canoe/kayak launch areas.
A Lake Access Permit is required year-round; boaters should use caution navigating the narrowed channel due to low lake levels and creek sediment, with alternate launch sites (Olin, Tonyawatha, Winnequah) available.
The park features amenities including restrooms, drinking water, seasonal kayak/paddleboard rentals through Rutabaga Paddlesports, a year-round fishing pier on Starkweather Creek, and a sandy beach area.
