About This Access Site
The Deerfield access site provides public boat launch access to Long Lake, a 285-acre lake in Cass County near Backus, Minnesota. The site features a concrete boat ramp with a loading dock and parking area, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and small to mid-sized motorboats. With a maximum depth of 33 feet, Long Lake offers good conditions for recreational paddling and fishing.

This is a DNR-managed access point with no launch fees. The site is designed to accommodate standard recreational watercraft, including typical 12-18 foot boats. Paddlers should check current conditions through the Minnesota DNR's Lake Finder tool before visiting. This straightforward access point is ideal for those looking to explore Long Lake's recreational opportunities in a relatively undeveloped setting.
