The Clay Boswell boat launch provides public access to Jay Gould Lake, a 552-acre lake in Cohasset, Itasca County, Minnesota. This is a standard boat ramp suitable for trailer launches and carry-in access, accommodating most 12-18 foot boats. The launch is open 24 hours daily and offers a convenient entry point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the lake's calm waters, which reach a maximum depth of 33 feet.
The site is well-positioned for paddlers interested in exploring the greater Mississippi River Headwaters area. Nearby Jay Gould Lake also connects to Little Jay Gould Lake (150 acres), expanding your paddling options in the region. The Pokegama Dam Campground is located within 10 miles, making this a good base for multi-day paddling trips or extended water recreation visits.
