Lasalle Cooling Lake Boat Ramp

This boat ramp provides free access to LaSalle Lake's southwestern corner and is the primary launch point for the 2,058-acre cooling pond.

Boaters should call ahead (815-357-1608) before launching as access is weather-dependent and conditions can become hazardous quickly due to the lake's perched construction; note that the ramp area requires substantial travel time from the northern shores and there is no natural beaching available due to the riprapped shoreline.
