About This Access Site
The Nest Lake East access site provides a public boat launch for paddlers and boaters looking to explore this scenic 969-acre lake in Kandiyohi County. The ramp accommodates boats up to 12-18 feet, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small recreational boats. There are typically no launch fees at this access point unless you're visiting during times when a vehicle permit is required.
Nest Lake offers good conditions for paddling with a maximum depth of 40 feet. Note that the lake currently has Eurasian Water Milfoil and Curly-leaf Pond Weed present, so be aware of aquatic vegetation when paddling. The lake connects to the Middle Fork Crow River system and drains into Green Lake, providing additional paddling opportunities for those interested in exploring the connected waterways. This makes it a convenient access point for both day trips and longer paddling adventures in the area.
