Braidwood Lake Boat Ramp

Braidwood Lake Boat Ramp provides access to a 2,241-acre lake in Will County managed by the Illinois DNR for fishing and waterfowl activities.

The ramp is located at the Cemetery Boat Ramp area, which features a wind warning flag system to alert boaters to dangerous conditions—the lake closes when winds exceed 30 mph.

Note that boats under 14 feet are not recommended due to potentially treacherous wave conditions, and a maximum speed limit of 40 mph applies except in designated no-wake areas.
