Boy Lake

Boy Lake is a 3,466-acre lake in Cass County, Minnesota, offering public boat launch access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The lake has a maximum depth of 45 feet and can accommodate boats up to 12-18 feet at most launch ramps. There are no launch fees unless the access is located within a park requiring a vehicle permit—check with local authorities for current details.

The access point is located near Remer and is convenient to the broader Leech Lake and Mississippi River Headwaters recreation area. This makes Boy Lake a good option for paddlers seeking a larger water body in the region. If you're planning an overnight trip, note that the nearby Mabel Lake Campground offers both reservable and first-come, first-serve camping options (reservable sites can be booked up to 6 months in advance). For current access conditions or specific facility details, check the Minnesota DNR's Lake Finder tool.
