About This Access Site
Ann Lake is a 375-acre lake located in Wright County, Minnesota, with a maximum depth of 19 feet. This concrete boat ramp provides public access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the lake. The ramp is situated at Lake Ann Park and offers a dedicated launch facility for water recreation.

**What to Expect:** Ann Lake is a shallow, fertile lake that experiences algae blooms during summer months, which can affect water clarity. Paddlers should also be aware of curly-leaf pondweed densities in late spring and early summer. Parking at this access point is limited, so arriving early is recommended, especially during peak season or weekends. This is currently the primary public access point on the lake, making it the go-to launch location for most visitors.

**Best For:** The lake is suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and recreational boating. Anglers frequent the lake, so paddlers should be prepared to share the water with fishing boats. Plan your visit during calmer weather conditions, as the shallow nature of the lake means it can become choppy in windy conditions.
