Located on the north shore of Francis Lake in Isanti County, this county-owned boat ramp provides convenient access to a 927-acre lake popular with recreational boaters and anglers. The facility features a single concrete boat ramp and dock, making it suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The lake's seven miles of shoreline and maximum depth of 60 feet offer diverse paddling opportunities for various skill levels.
Francis Lake maintains average water clarity of 5.7 feet and is well-suited for recreational paddling and fishing. With two public access points available on the lake, paddlers have flexibility in launch and takeout locations. This north shore access is a reliable spot for getting on the water, though paddlers should plan their routes considering the lake's size and conditions.
