The Merrimac Ferry is a major attraction for Lake
Wisconsin visitors. Boaters should be aware that the
ferry is a commercial vessel which is propelled along an
underwater cable system, with no ability to stop or turn.
Stay at least 500 feet (about
1.5 football fields) from
either the fore or aft of
the ferry at all times.

Boating near the Prairie
du Sac Hydroelectric Dam
¡ Never anchor boats below a dam because water levels can change rapidly.
T
To prevent accidents and/or
potential fatalities, it is
important that recreational
boaters and fishing enthusiasts
use common sense around a dam and understand the dangers to be
found near them.
 Always wear a life jacket/personal flotation device.
his free map is provided by The Grade Boat Club, Inc. and Alliant Energy to promote boating
safety on Lake Wisconsin and the adjacent Wisconsin River.
Keep in mind that Lake Wisconsin is part of the Wisconsin River system and its currents will
cause sandbars to shift and will carry floating debris. Be careful to avoid areas with tree stumps, many of
which are indicated on this map. It is highly recommended that boaters stay inside the buoy lines and
follow all boating safety regulations.
 Obey all warning signs, barriers, flashing lights, horns and sirens.
 Leave boat motors running to provide maneuvering power.
 Stay clear of spillways – changing currents and “boiling” waves can make
boat control difficult near dams.
 Watch for reverse currents below dams – they can pull a boat back
toward the dam into the spillway and potentially capsize it.
