Mac Coon Access

Canoeing & Kayaking at Mac Coon Access

Along the Skunk River on the eastern border of Jefferson County rests Mac Coon Access. This area has become a local favorite for those looking to camp or enjoy the river.

Named after the Game Warden from the 1930’s and 40’s, Mac Coon Access was purchased by the Department of Natural Resources in 1945. Jefferson County Conservation has a renewable 25-year management lease agreement which allows the Conservation Board to develop and manage the area.
