Patterson Lake/Hunting access

Patterson Lake/Hunting Access offers a public boat launch on Patterson Lake in Cologne, Carver County. The facility features a sloped gravel boat ramp and gravel parking area located on Patterson Lake Road. This is a no-fee access point suitable for small to medium-sized boats, with the ramp typically accommodating vessels up to 12-18 feet, though capacity may vary.

The launch provides straightforward access for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats looking to explore Patterson Lake. Given the gravel surface, visitors should be prepared for potentially muddy conditions during wet weather and exercise caution when launching. The adjacent parking area allows for convenient vehicle access near the ramp. This site also serves as a hunting access area, so be aware of seasonal hunting activity if visiting during hunting seasons.
