Bray Park provides a well-developed public access point to Madison Lake, a 1,347-acre lake in Blue Earth County located about 2 miles southeast of Madison Lake, Minnesota. The park features a dedicated boat ramp and boat landing dock, making it ideal for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. With a maximum depth of 59 feet, the lake offers stable conditions suitable for paddlers of various skill levels.
The park itself is a full-service facility with 33 electric campsites, tent camping, a swimming beach, fishing docks, picnic areas, and playground equipment. This makes Bray Park an excellent base for multi-day paddling trips or day outings. The lake supports diverse fish species including walleye, bass, northern pike, crappies, sunfish, and bullheads, so anglers often share the water. Paddlers should be aware that the lake accommodates motorized boating as well, so stay alert for traffic, particularly during peak seasons.
