About This Access Site
The Dewitt access site is a DNR-owned public boat ramp located on the south side of Upper Prior Lake off Dewitte Avenue SW in Prior Lake, Scott County. This is the primary public access point for the 386-acre lake, making it a convenient launch for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The ramp provides direct access to calm, inland water suitable for paddling and recreational boating.

Upper Prior Lake has a maximum depth of 50 feet and is connected to Lower Prior Lake, offering paddlers the opportunity to explore additional water. The area includes other amenities nearby, such as public fishing docks and beaches maintained by the City of Prior Lake, plus seasonal slip rental options at local facilities for those needing overnight storage. Before launching, check local conditions and be aware that Upper Prior is a popular recreational lake that accommodates both paddle craft and motorboats.
