Whether it’s trolling the backwaters for bass or casting the fast waters for trout, Crawford County is your destination for world-class fishing.  And with three major rivers – the Mississippi, Wisconsin, and Kickapoo – and numerous trout streams converging within the county’s borders, you’ll not have to wander far to find your favorite fishing.

Landings are available at regular intervals along all major rivers.  Access points are marked on our Crawford County Map, which can be ordered by email or calling toll-free: 866-452-7967.  Landings can be found on each river:

  • Mississippi River at: DeSoto, Ferryville, Lynxville, Gordon's Bay, Wyalusing State Park, and several locations in Prairie du Chien

  • Wisconsin River at: Bridgeport and Wauzeka

  • Kickapoo River at: Soldiers Grove, Gays Mills, Steuben, and Wauzeka (the Kickapoo is navigable by canoe on the upper portions served by outfitters, while the lower section remains more challenging, with numerous deadfalls obstructing the channel)
