About This Access Site
East Leaf Lake is a 423-acre public access lake located in Otter Tail County, Minnesota, near Deer Creek.

The lake reaches a maximum depth of 47 feet, making it suitable for various boating activities.

This access point is popular with anglers targeting largemouth bass, northern pike, and black crappie, but it's equally accessible for kayakers, canoeists, and general recreational boaters. The site is family-friendly with parking available. For current conditions and specific facility details, check the Minnesota DNR's Lake Finder or contact the local DNR office, as ramp conditions and any seasonal restrictions may vary.
