About This Access Site
This county-owned boat access on Francis Lake's north shore offers a single concrete boat ramp suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The facility includes a dock, making it convenient for launching and landing. Located in Meeker County near South Haven, this is one of two public access points on the lake.

Francis Lake spans 927 acres with approximately seven miles of shoreline and a maximum depth of 60 feet, providing good water depth for most recreational vessels. Average water clarity is about 5.7 feet. The lake is popular for fishing and general recreation, making this a solid launch point for exploring the lake. Paddlers should note the water conditions and plan accordingly, as the lake experiences variable wind conditions throughout the day.
