Benson Lake Boat Ramp

This rugged boat landing on Benson Lake Road is best suited for kayaks, canoes, and small carry-in boats, with large and moderate-sized motorboats unlikely to launch successfully.

Located on public land with no fee required, it provides access to Benson Lake and the Manitowish River system.

The landing is marked by a pin on the Sturgeon Breeching on Benson Lake historical entry and offers a gateway to paddling the river stretches upstream toward Rest Lake Dam or Highway 51.
