Clearwater River, Sportsman Park Access

Sportsman Park in Red Lake Falls offers a convenient boat ramp for launching onto the Red Lake River. The facility provides access for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats, with the ramp capable of handling boats up to 12-18 feet. This is a good staging point for paddlers exploring the Red Lake River system, which is one of Minnesota's designated state water trails.

The park is situated away from downtown Red Lake Falls, making it ideal for paddlers who want a quieter, more natural setting for their launch point. Beyond the boat ramp, Sportsman Park features additional amenities including camping facilities (both primitive and full hook-up RV sites), hiking trails, and restroom facilities. This makes it a solid base for multi-day paddling trips or fishing excursions on the Red Lake River.
