This concrete boat ramp on Island Lake's western basin provides public water access for motorized and non-motorized watercraft, with parking and amenities including space for aquatic invasive species treatment.

The ramp may experience seasonal closures for maintenance and upgrades, and boaters should be aware that high water levels can affect navigation under the nearby causeway bridge on St. Louis County Highway 4.

During periods when this ramp is closed, the Minnesota Power Hideaway access on the lake's northeast side serves as an alternative public launch point.
