About This Access Site
Lake Bella is a 180-acre lake located in Nobles County, Minnesota, with a maximum depth of 14 feet. This public boat launch provides access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats of various sizes. The launch can typically accommodate 12-18 foot boats, though capacity may vary. There are no launch fees unless the site is located within a park requiring a vehicle permit.
**Important reminders:** All drain plugs from bilges, livewells, and bait buckets must be removed at the water access, and all water-draining devices should remain open while trailering equipment. This helps protect Minnesota's waters from aquatic invasive species. The site is suitable for a range of paddlers and boaters looking for calm, shallow-water recreation in a scenic setting.
