Baker Park Reserve offers an unpaved boat launch on Spurzem Lake in Medina, providing access to a no-wake lake suitable for kayakers and canoeists seeking a quieter paddling experience. The launch is located within a well-maintained park facility that includes free parking, with a $6 boat trailer parking pass required if launching a trailered boat. Amenities on-site include bathrooms, showers, picnic areas, and a walking/biking path system.
Spurzem Lake is designated as a no-wake zone, making it an ideal destination for recreational paddlers and families. Before launching, be aware that the Three Rivers Park District conducts AIS (Aquatic Invasive Species) inspections at the park and offers decontamination services nearby at the Lake Independence boat access, so ensure your vessel is clean if coming from other water bodies. The park's scenic setting and multiple access points (including carry-in access at Half Moon Lake) make Baker Park Reserve a convenient destination for a day of paddling in the Hennepin County area.
