About This Access Site
Branch Lake in Ellsworth offers a public boat launch on a state-owned access point managed by Maine's Bureau of Parks and Lands. The ramp accommodates most recreational boats and is free to use. Access is available via Boat Launch Road on the lake's west shore, adjacent to the 750-acre Branch Lake Public Forest.

This is a solid option for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore a peaceful inland lake. The surrounding public forest lands provide a scenic backdrop and opportunities for extended paddling. Note that seasonal gate closures may affect access via Branchview Drive, so check current conditions before your trip. The site is suitable for small to medium recreational craft and serves as a good starting point for lake-based paddling in the Ellsworth area.
