About This Access Site
Located on the north side of Phelps Lake in Montgomery, Rice County, this public boat access provides convenient launching for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The 299-acre lake is connected to adjacent Cody Lake via an underwater channel, allowing paddlers to explore both water bodies. The access site is situated directly across the road from the Cody Lake public access, making it easy to compare launch conditions or split time between the two lakes.
This is a no-fee access point suitable for launching boats up to approximately 12-18 feet, depending on ramp conditions. Paddlers should note that vehicle permits may apply if the access is located within a designated park area—check with local authorities or the Minnesota DNR's Lake Finder tool for current information. The calm, connected lake system makes this a good option for recreational paddling and fishing, particularly for those seeking sheltered water conditions.
