Mertes Slough

Located in the Town of Buffalo along Wisconsin's Mississippi River, this public boat ramp offers convenient access to one of the region's most scenic waterways. Managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, you'll find it's a solid option for launching into the river for fishing, cruising, or exploring. The ramp provides public access, making it a great spot whether you're a local or just passing through Buffalo County. It's worth checking conditions before you head out, especially during high water periods, as the Mississippi can be variable throughout the year.
