Construction on Recreational Boating Facility-North End Boat Launch, Town of Lake Mills
Construction on the North End Boat launch at Rock Lake County Park on Park Lane is estimated to begin the week of April 7, 2025, estimated completion date May 15, 2025.
The launch will not be accessible for portions of this construction and Park Lane traffic should be for local/residents only during the period of the work. Rock Lake County Park access should be minimally affected during this time.
Janke General Contractors, Inc was awarded the Recreational Boating Facility contract for this project which is funded by the launch fees collected at the Town of Lake Mills launches in conjunction with a Recreational Boating Facilities grant received from the Department of Natural Resources.
Project involves removing the existing boat ramp and pier, installing new concrete panel boat ramp, adding an asphalt turnaround, and erosion control.
