Big Marine Lake (South)

The Big Marine Lake south access point, located in Marine on Saint Croix, provides boat launch facilities for paddlers and boaters on this popular fishing destination. There is a park entry fee, though launching is free. A fishing pier is available just south of the boat ramp within the county park, and shore fishing opportunities exist throughout the area. The lake is known for excellent fishing with walleye, northern pike, bass, crappie, and sunfish regularly caught here.

**Practical Considerations:** Parking can be limited, especially during summer months, with overflow parking along the road at the top of the hill. User reports suggest the ramp may see heavier recreational use during warmer months—plan accordingly and be prepared for shared space with other park activities. Winter access may be more straightforward for those interested in ice fishing. The nearby St. Croix Wetland Management District offers additional recreation opportunities in the area.
