About This Access Site
**Black Oak Lake** is a 95-acre lake in Melrose, Stearns County, offering public boat launch access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The lake's modest size and maximum depth of 19 feet make it well-suited for recreational paddling and fishing. Most standard recreational boats (typically 12-18 feet) can be launched at this ramp.
This is a straightforward access point for exploring a quiet Minnesota lake. Given the lake's relatively small size, it's ideal for paddlers seeking a more intimate paddling experience away from heavily trafficked waters. Check current conditions and any vehicle permit requirements before visiting, as some Minnesota access sites may have seasonal closures or park-related fees.
