The Goose Lake boat ramp near Selz in Wells County, North Dakota offers a convenient launch point for kayakers and canoeists. The site features a concrete boat ramp with a small parking area (approximately 4-10 vehicles), making it suitable for day-use paddling. This is an ideal location for canoe and kayak recreation on a relatively calm water body.
The lake is known for fishing opportunities, with stocked trout including rainbow and brown trout, as well as native brook trout and cutthroat. Paddlers should be aware of general zone regulations that apply to the water body. Please note that boats should not be left unattended at the ramp—tie-up and parking are intended only for loading and unloading. Given the lake's character as a smaller, more protected paddling destination, it's well-suited for recreational paddlers of varying skill levels.
