Douglas Landing

Dedicated to America’s veterans, Douglas Landing provides access to the Baraboo River. The .75 parcel of land was donated by Russell and Pearl Douglas. Russell was a member of the United States Army Air Force during World War II, where he proudly served as a bombsight maintenance technician in the 390th Bomb Groups 569th Squadron. Douglas Landing was improved in 2019 to help stabilize the shoreline and provides a quiet spot to fish or launch a canoe or kayak. Chances are if you have your fishing gear, you might be able to catch lake sturgeon, catfish, walleye, sauger, smallmouth bass, and freshwater drum.
