Artichoke Lake (East)

The East boat ramp provides public access to Artichoke Lake, a 1,971-acre lake in Big Stone County, Minnesota. Located near the small community of Correll, this launch facility accommodates most recreational boats up to 12-18 feet, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. There are no launch fees at this public access point.

Artichoke Lake is a relatively shallow waterbody with a maximum depth of 16 feet, making it ideal for paddling and exploring. The lake's scenic setting in southwestern Minnesota places it near the Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge and Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge, offering paddlers opportunities to observe wildlife and enjoy the region's natural landscape. Before launching, check current access conditions, as status and availability can vary seasonally.
