ND Circle is a public boat access point located in Augusta, providing entry to Lake Eau Claire and the Eau Claire River system. This 870-acre lake offers a calm-water paddling experience and is suitable for kayakers and canoeists seeking a scenic, low-current paddle. The lake has a maximum depth of 25 feet with low water clarity, so plan accordingly for visibility.
The Eau Claire River section through this area is described as a pleasant but relatively straightforward paddle, lacking significant rapids and dramatic scenery compared to other sections of the river. This makes it an ideal location for recreational paddlers, families, and those looking for a more leisurely outing rather than technical whitewater. The lake supports a healthy fishery including musky, bass, panfish, and walleye if you're interested in combining paddling with angling.
