Birch Point is a public boat launch located in Tower, Minnesota, on Lake Vermilion, a popular recreational lake in St. Louis County. The ramp features a concrete launch surface suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats up to 12-18 feet. Most boats can be launched here, and there are typically no launch fees unless a vehicle permit is required by the park. The site is well-positioned for accessing the lake's central waters and nearby public islands.
The area offers convenient amenities, including wet and dry boat storage options available through local marinas. Several rental facilities nearby provide pontoon boats and fishing equipment if needed. The launch area is protected in a scenic bay setting, making it an accessible starting point for both day paddlers and extended boating excursions on Lake Vermilion's expansive waters.
