About This Access Site
Circle Lake is an 838-acre public access lake located in scenic Rice County, Minnesota, near Lonsdale. The lake's maximum depth of 14 feet makes it suitable for recreational boating, fishing, and paddling. A public boat launch provides convenient access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats, with no launch fees (unless a park vehicle permit is required for the specific access area).
Most standard boat ramps at this location can accommodate 12-18 foot vessels. Before launching, check current access conditions through the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' Lake Finder tool, as seasonal water levels and facility status may vary. The moderate size and shallow depth of Circle Lake make it an accessible option for both beginner and experienced paddlers.
