**Location & Facilities**
Crow Wing Lake #1 is a public boat ramp access site located in Menahga, Hubbard County, serving the Crow Wing River system. The site features a cement boat ramp designed for easy launching and retrieval of watercraft. This is a developed access point with nearby camping and support facilities, including 59 campsites, a camping cabin, electric hookups, flush toilets, and group camping options—making it suitable for paddlers planning multi-day trips.

This access site works well for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboat users of all experience levels. Crow Wing Lake itself is a 379-acre water body with a maximum depth of 26 feet, offering relatively stable paddling conditions. The site is equipped with docks and on-site amenities including live bait availability, which indicates the area is also popular with anglers. The developed nature of this access point makes it ideal for launching trips on the Crow Wing River system.
**Planning Your Visit**
If you're planning to paddle the Crow Wing River beyond the lake, check water levels and flow conditions before your trip, as river conditions can vary seasonally. The site can accommodate group outings of 45 or more people, and facilities are accessible to people with disabilities.
