Lake Tewaukon

Located in Cayuga, Sargent County, the Lake Tewaukon boat ramp provides convenient access to this 1,058-acre lake. The concrete ramp is well-maintained and complemented by useful amenities including picnic shelters, tables, restrooms, a fishing dock, and barbecue grills. This makes it an excellent base for a day outing or longer paddling adventure.

Lake Tewaukon is a shallow water body with a maximum depth of 12 feet, making it suitable for kayaks and canoes. Be aware that the ramp may be subject to seasonal closures or maintenance work during spring and summer months—check the refuge website or local fishing news before your visit for any current construction updates that could affect usability. Boat fishing is permitted, though with some limitations compared to shore fishing, which is allowed year-round.

The lake sits within the Tewaukon National Wildlife Refuge and Wetland Management District, offering excellent opportunities to observe waterfowl, shorebirds, and wading birds, particularly during spring and fall migration seasons. The refuge setting makes this a peaceful destination for paddlers seeking a scenic, wildlife-rich paddling experience in northeastern North Dakota.
