Kettleson Hogsback Complex Boat Ramp

The Kettleson Hogsback Complex boat ramp provides access to multiple lakes within the 2,040-acre Wildlife Management Area in Dickinson County.

West Hottes Lake is in partial drawdown with water levels below Spirit Lake elevation, making small boats and mud motors recommended; Marble Lake is at crest elevation with good vegetation conditions and accessible by small to large boats.

Most large wetlands in the complex have good water for walk-in hunting opportunities.
