About This Access Site
Located in Owatonna, Steele County, this public boat ramp provides convenient access to Kohlmeier Lake, a 34-acre recreational lake. The ramp accommodates typical recreational boats and watercraft, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. With a maximum depth of 14 feet, the lake offers a manageable paddling environment for recreationalists of various skill levels.

As a public access point, there are typically no launch fees unless a vehicle permit is required for the park area. This is an ideal spot for a casual day on the water or a fishing outing in the scenic Steele County area.
