St. Louis River Boat Ramp

Rice's Point Public Boat Ramp offers two launch ramps and two docks within the Duluth-Superior Harbor, with 75 paved parking spaces for vehicles and trailers.

The facility includes portable restrooms and an adjacent fishing pier, though note that this is a shallow area best suited for smaller boats—stay between the red and green markers when launching.

Managed by the Minnesota DNR in cooperation with the City of Duluth, it was upgraded in 1988 and 1999 and is located under the Blatnik Bridge.
