Timber Mill City Park

Timber Mill City Park in Baudette offers one of the most accessible launch points on the Rainy River, featuring a well-maintained boat ramp with ample parking for both vehicles and trailers. Located just east of downtown Baudette, this public access site is popular among kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters exploring the Rainy River and Lake of the Woods watershed. The facility provides a convenient starting point for paddlers looking to access the river's main channel.

From this launch, paddlers can explore the Rainy River's moderate current and scenic corridors or venture toward Baudette Bay and the broader Lake of the Woods system. The proximity to town amenities—including shops, restaurants, and services along Willie Walleye Hill—makes this an excellent base for multi-day trips or casual outings. Water conditions vary seasonally, so check current river levels and weather before launching. This access point serves as a reliable option for boaters of all skill levels seeking public river access in the region.
