About This Access Site
Located in Cotton, St. Louis County, this public boat ramp provides convenient access to Strand Lake, a 330-acre lake in scenic northeastern Minnesota. The ramp accommodates most standard recreational boats and is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. With a maximum depth of 16 feet, the lake offers moderate paddling and boating opportunities for various skill levels.
The access site is ideally positioned for paddlers exploring the region, with the Lake Superior Estuarine Research Reserve located nearby in Douglas County. There are no launch fees at this public access point. Boaters should check current conditions before launching, particularly given the northern Minnesota location and seasonal water level variations. The relatively modest size of Strand Lake makes it manageable for day trips and recreational paddling.
