Powderhorn Lake Boat Ramp

Powderhorn Lake Boat Ramp offers a trailered boat launch providing access for canoes, kayaks, rowboats, sailboats, and boats with electric trolling motors on a 48-acre lake in Burnham.

The recently improved launch platform is positioned closer to the water line for easier boater and paddler access. The preserve encompasses diverse habitats including prairie, marsh, and savanna, making it suitable for both recreational paddling and fishing.
