Snelling Lake Boat Ramp

This natural (unpaved) boat launch at the south end of Snelling Lake provides access for non-motorized watercraft such as canoes and kayaks, with a wooden dock and concrete ramp available.

Located within Fort Snelling State Park, the launch is framed by dense woodlands and offers convenient access to the 103-acre lake, which also features a fishing pier on the north shore.

Before launching, check your watercraft for aquatic invasives as required by park regulations.
