About This Access Site
Buffalo Lake's north access point offers a public boat ramp suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The paved, trailer-accessible launch provides convenient access to this 1,552-acre lake in Wright County. The facility includes a boat dock, toilet, trailer parking, and ADA parking. Most ramps accommodate 12-18 foot boats, though some can handle larger vessels. There are no launch fees unless accessing a park requiring a vehicle permit.

The lake features a maximum depth of 33 feet with multiple offshore bars and a wind-swept character. Popular species include bluegill, crappie, largemouth bass, northern pike, and muskellunge, making it attractive for both fishing and recreational paddling. Before planning your visit, check current conditions and seasonal access status through the Minnesota DNR's Lake Finder tool to confirm availability and any specific amenities or restrictions at this particular access point.
