About This Access Site
**Central Park North** (officially Rum River Central Regional Park) in Ramsey offers a full-service boat launch suitable for small trailers, making it an accessible starting point for motorboats and larger vessels. The facility also features a dedicated canoe and kayak launch for paddle craft. Located at 17955 Roanoke Street NW, this 80-acre park is the central hub of the Rum River Canoe Corridor, positioned between northern and southern access points for multi-day paddling trips.
Beyond water access, the park provides ample amenities including picnic areas, fishing piers, trails for biking and walking, and canoe-in campsites for overnight paddling adventures. The site requires an Anoka County Parks permit for vehicle entry. Paddlers should note that the Rum River is a gentle, meandering waterway suitable for recreational canoeing and kayaking, with the corridor extending from St. Francis in the north through this location and south to Anoka—ideal for planning longer paddles with multiple access points.
