About This Access Site
String Lake is a 336-acre, shallow lake (maximum depth of 4 feet) located near Wilder in Jackson County, Minnesota. This access site provides a public boat launch for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters looking to explore the lake. The shallow water makes String Lake suitable for paddling and fishing, though boaters should be mindful of depth when navigating.
The access area is situated near the Windom Wetland Management District, which offers opportunities to observe waterfowl and migratory bird habitat in the surrounding region. Note that parking and launch areas can become congested during peak summer season, particularly from late morning through afternoon, so early morning or off-season visits may provide a more peaceful experience. Be sure to follow all posted regulations at the site.
