Wayside Access

Highway 33 Wayside provides access to the Baraboo River approximately 9 miles downstream from Giese Park, featuring a canoe launch with steep banks suitable for paddlers continuing toward the Wisconsin River confluence.

The site has parking available but no restroom facilities, making it a useful intermediate access point for multi-day paddling trips through this scenic, channelized section of river flowing through agricultural areas.
