Grant Lake

Grant Lake is a 214-acre lake in Beltrami County offering public boat access via a dedicated launch ramp near Wilton. The ramp accommodates boats up to 12-18 feet, making it suitable for most recreational kayaks, canoes, and small powerboats. The lake reaches a maximum depth of 92 feet and is surrounded by scenic shoreline with numerous dirt access roads providing additional launch alternatives.

This is a no-fee access point (unless vehicle permits apply for park facilities), making it an affordable option for paddlers and anglers. The lake's tree-less shoreline and open water make it accessible for paddling, casting, and trolling. Grant Lake is known for quality fishing, so expect moderate recreational boat traffic, especially during peak seasons. The relatively large size and depth of the lake mean conditions can vary—paddlers should check wind forecasts before launching, as open water can develop whitecaps in moderate winds.
