About This Access Site
Rice Lake in Saint Clair, Blue Earth County provides public boat ramp access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The ramp is open year-round and remains accessible during most weather conditions, making it a reliable option for paddling throughout the seasons. Cart assistance is available for transporting gear and boats to the water.
**Launch Considerations:** The ramp has a relatively narrow width, which may pose challenges for larger motorboats. Paddlers should find this ramp well-suited for launching kayaks and canoes. Note that navigational buoys are typically installed in mid-May. If you're a shoreline property owner with 2024 dues, an access code is required—contact the Rice Lake Association for details on launching requirements.
