Chipewa Lodge

Chipewa Lodge offers a convenient boat ramp access point to Leech Lake, Minnesota's premier fishing destination. Located on the southeast side of the lake near Longville in Cass County, this resort-based access provides launching facilities for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the lake's 112,835 acres and 195 miles of shoreline. The site features a protected harbor, making it a reliable access point in various weather conditions.

Leech Lake is well-suited for paddlers and boaters of varying experience levels. Most of the lake has depths under 35 feet, though deeper areas near Walker Bay reach 156 feet. The lake's clear blue water and expansive size make it ideal for day trips and extended paddling adventures. Beyond the boat ramp, Chipewa Lodge offers additional amenities including dock space, rental boats, canoes, and kayaks, plus a sandy swimming beach and fishing guide services for those interested in the lake's world-class walleye, muskie, and bass populations.

The access site is situated within the Chippewa National Forest, offering scenic northwoods paddling opportunities. Whether launching your own kayak or canoe or renting from the lodge, this location provides good access to explore one of Minnesota's largest and most popular lakes.
