About This Access Site
This township-owned gravel boat ramp provides access to Shamineau Lake's 1,434-acre water body near Motley in Morrison County. The east shore location offers a more rustic alternative to the DNR-managed concrete ramp on the lake's west shore. The gravel surface is suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small to medium motorboats, though paddlers should be prepared for potentially softer conditions, especially during wet periods.
Shamineau Lake is a Class 27 lake that serves as a popular recreation destination for the area. Paddlers can expect a moderately sized flatwater lake ideal for recreational kayaking and canoeing. The east access point provides a good option for those exploring the eastern portions of the lake or seeking a quieter launch experience compared to busier facilities.
