Access and facts

No launch on Lindsley itself: the DNR points boaters to the ramps on Thousand Island Lake or Cisco Lake, which connect to it through the Cisco Chain's channels. A dam at the Cisco Lake outlet holds the chain 4 to 5 ft higher, easing travel between lakes. Most chain shoreline is private.
