East Twin Lake, located in Nowthen near Anoka County, offers boat ramp access for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters. This small lake is part of the scenic Twin Lakes Canoe Route, making it an ideal starting point for paddlers exploring the connected waterway system. The access point is situated on the west side of the lake, providing convenient entry to the water.
**Important Note:** Recent reports indicate that the boat ramp on the west side has experienced water level issues, with access becoming partially flooded. Paddlers should verify current conditions before visiting, as water levels and ramp usability can vary seasonally. For those without their own equipment, kayak and paddleboard rentals are available at the Twin Lakes Boat Launch facility. The nearby Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge, located about 50 miles northwest, offers additional paddling and wildlife viewing opportunities for those exploring the region.
