Devils Lake

The Devils Lake access site in Ramsey County provides a convenient launch point for paddlers and boaters exploring North Dakota's largest natural freshwater lake. Located at coordinates 48.09790100, -98.90229000, this ramp is part of the well-maintained Devils Lake Basin access system, which includes multiple launch facilities around the lake.

Most access sites in the Devils Lake Basin feature paved boat ramps, courtesy docks, and restrooms. The nearby Grahams Island State Park offers a four-lane concrete ramp with five courtesy docks, making it suitable for moderate to high-traffic days. This area is ideal for kayakers and canoeists looking for flatwater paddling, as well as anglers targeting pike, perch, walleye, white bass, muskie, and crappie.

The White Horse Hill National Game Preserve nearby adds scenic value to the paddling experience, with its mix of oak, ash, basswood, and aspen woodlands along with prairie habitat. Before launching, check current conditions as water levels and ramp usability can be affected by weather events. Grahams Island State Park is open daily and offers overnight camping facilities if you're planning an extended visit.
