Rainy River, Kuttes State Water Access Site

The Kuttes boat ramp provides public water access to the Rainy River near International Falls, located conveniently close to the Canadian border crossing. This site features a functional boat ramp with ample parking available for vehicles with trailers, making it practical for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The access point is maintained by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and serves as a popular entry point for paddlers exploring this international waterway.

The Rainy River in this area offers opportunities for various boating activities, from casual paddling to fishing and day trips. As with most Rainy River and Lake of the Woods access sites, paddlers should verify current conditions and any applicable regulations before launching. Given the river's border location and potential for variable water conditions, check local weather and water forecasts. The proximity to Peace Park and established infrastructure makes this a convenient starting point for exploring the Rainy River system.
