Butterfield Lake (North)

This public boat launch provides access to Butterfield Lake, a 54-acre lake in Watonwan County suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and recreational boating. The lake's shallow maximum depth of 10 feet makes it ideal for paddlers and anglers seeking a calm, protected water environment. The north access point offers a convenient entry point for exploring this small, scenic lake.

The launch accommodates most standard recreational boats and is free to use. There is no boat dock at this location, so plan accordingly if you need docking facilities.
