**Location & Facilities**
The Brush Lake boat ramp is located in Mercer, McLean County, North Dakota, and provides public access to this 280-acre lake. The day-use area on the northeast portion of the lake includes a boat ramp, dock, parking area, vault toilet, picnic tables, and fire rings. This makes it a convenient launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the lake.
**Practical Information for Paddlers**
The ramp appears to be a two-lane facility positioned near the dam, which offers some wind protection—a valuable feature on prairie lakes. The nearby dock is useful for loading passengers or gear. In addition to boating, the site provides access to a designated swimming area. Like most public boat ramps, be aware that maintenance and seasonal closures may occur during spring and summer, so it's worth checking local conditions before your trip.
