About This Access Site
Ham Lake County Park offers public boat access to 155-acre Ham Lake in Anoka County, near Highway 65 off 153rd Street N.E. The facility includes a boat ramp and dock suitable for launching trailered boats, plus a fishing pier. This scenic lake has a maximum depth of 22 feet and is fed by the Cross River, making it an accessible destination for paddlers and motorized boaters alike.

The lake provides a good day-trip option for kayakers and canoeists seeking a moderate-sized water body. At 155 acres with approximately 3.8 miles of shoreline, Ham Lake offers enough area for exploring without the backcountry portaging required for nearby Boundary Waters access. The park setting provides convenient amenities and parking, making it an ideal launching point for recreational paddling in the region.
