Lake Belle Taine State Water Access Site

The public boat ramp at Lake Belle Taine is conveniently located at the edge of Nevis in Hubbard County, providing easy access to this 1,497-acre lake. The ramp serves as an ideal launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the Mantrap Chain of Lakes. A fishing pier is nearby on the eastern corner of the lake, and the site's proximity to town makes it a well-developed access point for recreation.

Lake Belle Taine offers calm water for paddling with a maximum depth of 56 feet. The lake connects to more than ten other lakes via the Sand River, making it an excellent hub for multi-lake adventures. While boaters can navigate the connecting rivers between most lakes, paddlers (especially those in canoes or kayaks) will find certain sections of the Sand River particularly well-suited for their vessels, offering scenic routes through the chain.

The area is popular for fishing and recreation, with Nevis hosting events year-round and the famous "Muskie Days" festival in July. Whether you're interested in fishing, paddling, or exploring the connected chain of clean, clear-water lakes, this access point provides a convenient starting location for water-based recreation in Hubbard County.
