George Lake

George Lake in Martin County offers a well-maintained DNR boat ramp on the west side of the lake, accessible via County Road 4 near Fairmont. This is an excellent public access point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to launch onto this scenic freshwater lake. The ramp provides a convenient starting point for exploring the lake's northern pike fishery, which is known for quality fish in the 20"-25" range with many larger specimens in the protected slot.

The lake has minimal resort development and experiences relatively light fishing pressure, making it an attractive destination for paddlers seeking a quieter paddling experience. The ramp's location on the west side provides good access to the main body of water. Before launching, check current water conditions and weather, as wind direction and conditions can be important factors for paddlers. This is a public access point suitable for both day trips and exploring the lake's various fishing and paddling opportunities.
