This site holds no file of mapped access sites for Wisconsin, so it can say where the public ground on West Petenwell Ditch is and not where the landings are. 1 block of public land touches the river, which is where you can stand without asking — 17,116 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water. The nearest town we map is Coon Valley, 54.6 miles from the river's midpoint in a straight line, with the water east of the town.
| Town | Distance | Direction to the river |
|---|---|---|
| Coon Valley | 54.6 mi | east |
| Viroqua | 55.9 mi | north-east |
Straight-line distance from the river's midpoint, and the direction you would travel from the town to reach it. The roads are not mapped here, so there is no drive time — a travel time nobody measured is the kind of number that gets somebody lost.
We have no mapped access sites for Wisconsin. That is an absence of data and not a statement that there are none — the public ground below is what this page can answer with.
Ownership from PAD-US as the state publishes it. Where a block has its own page, the name links to it.
