This public boat ramp provides access to Elbow Lake, a 1,695-acre lake in St. Louis County with a maximum depth of 60 feet. Located on the south side of the lake near Cook, Minnesota, this launch point is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the scenic water body. The ramp offers a convenient entry point for recreational paddling and fishing.
Paddlers should note that Elbow Lake is part of the Timber-Frear Canoe Route, making it a gateway for backcountry exploration. The lake connects to four backcountry campsites accessible via paddling and portaging routes. Whether you're planning a day paddle, fishing trip, or multi-day canoe expedition, this south-side access provides an established launch facility for your water adventure in Minnesota's North Shore region.
