This one acre Wapsipinicon River Access site is located in Stone City. Historical stone buildings and homes provide a sense of history and a “Grant Wood” feel as you float past. The pounding from local quarries, which provided much of the stone for local buildings as well as giving this community its name, can sometimes be
heard along this stretch.
Canoeists will be amazed at the solitude and beauty that the limestone bluffs, cliffs, and wooded shorelines have to offer. Wildlife abounds along this serene river. You can expect to encounter a variety of animal species along the river on a typical canoe jaunt including whitetail deer, wood ducks, wild turkeys, squirrels, bald eagles, Canada geese, and turkey vultures. More reclusive wildlife includes river otters, beaver, bobcat, red and grey fox, and mink. Bird lovers will be astounded at the diversity of woodland and song birds along the rivers banks. Don’t forget your binoculars and camera.
Commonly sought after fish include catfish, walleye, smallmouth bass, carp, sunfish, and northern pike. Several deep fishing holes and rocky shorelines provide excellent fishing.
