About This Access Site
Moosehead Lake is a 279-acre public access lake located in Carlton County, Minnesota, with a maximum depth of 18 feet. The boat ramp provides a good launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore this scenic water body. The lake features navigation markers to aid boaters and help ensure safety on the water.

**Practical Considerations:** While the ramp itself offers reliable access, paddlers should be aware that the lake can experience motorboat traffic, which may create wave conditions challenging for small craft. Kayakers and canoeists may prefer exploring quieter coves and peripheral areas rather than the main lake. The surrounding park offers 925 acres of grounds with additional amenities including a swimming beach and playground, making it suitable for a full day outing. Note that parking areas can fill quickly on weekends, so plan your arrival accordingly.
