About This Access Site
The Hendricks Lake East access point provides a public boat launch on this 1,522-acre lake in Lincoln County, Minnesota. The ramp accommodates most standard recreational boats (typically 12-18 feet), making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. There are generally no launch fees unless the access is within a park requiring a vehicle permit—check with local authorities for current details.

Hendricks Lake is a shallow waterbody with a maximum depth of 9 feet, making it ideal for casual paddling and fishing. The lake offers nearby amenities including a swim beach, picnic facilities, and playground access. Paddlers should be aware that vegetation management work has been ongoing around the shoreline and jetty areas.
