About This Access Site
Located on the west side of Devils Lake near Perham in Otter Tail County, this boat ramp provides convenient water access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The ramp is situated on South Shore Road at the southwest corner of the lake, with an adjacent parking lot across the road from the launch point. This is a straightforward, traditional boat ramp setup ideal for getting small craft and recreational boats onto the water quickly.

Devils Lake is a popular destination for paddlers and anglers in the region. Before launching, check current wind conditions, which can significantly impact paddling safety on larger lakes. The site serves as a good starting point for exploring the lake and accessing various fishing areas. For additional amenities and facilities—such as fish cleaning stations, restrooms, and picnic areas—nearby Creel Bay landing (about 3 miles south) offers expanded services if needed for a longer outing.
