About This Access Site
Hunt Lake is a 160-acre lake in Kilkenny, Rice County, offering a DNR-owned concrete boat ramp on the north side off County Road 37. The ramp is suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small to mid-sized motorboats, making it a straightforward launch point for various watercraft. As a state-managed access site, there are typically no launch fees unless a vehicle permit is required.
The lake itself is relatively shallow, with a maximum depth of 27 feet and approximately 84% of the water less than 15 feet deep—ideal characteristics for recreational paddling and fishing. These shallow conditions make Hunt Lake suitable for beginners and families, though paddlers should be aware of potential vegetation and underwater obstacles. The concrete ramp provides reliable access in most water conditions, making it a dependable choice for launching kayaks and canoes year-round.
