Ellsworth Lake West is a public boat ramp providing access to 161-acre Ellsworth Lake in Spooner, Washburn County. This shallow lake, with a maximum depth of 6 feet, is well-suited for kayakers and canoeists seeking calm, protected paddling waters. The ramp offers convenient launching for small watercraft and is part of Wisconsin's network of publicly-owned boat access sites.
The lake supports a healthy fishery including panfish, largemouth bass, and northern pike, making it popular with anglers as well as recreational paddlers. Given the shallow depth and moderate size, paddlers can explore the entire lake in a day trip. This is an ideal location for beginners, families, and anyone looking for accessible paddling in northern Wisconsin without challenging conditions or long distances.
