Hemlock Lake is a 364-acre public access lake in Canton, Barron County, offering a convenient boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized vessels. The lake has a maximum depth of 21 feet with low water clarity. Note that **electric motors only** are permitted on this water body, making it ideal for paddlers seeking a quieter recreational experience.
The ramp provides access to a lake well-suited for anglers targeting panfish, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye. Beyond boating, the site includes ADA fishing access and unmarked hiking trails around an adjacent slough area. This makes Hemlock Lake a good option for paddlers wanting a combination of water-based recreation and shore-based exploration in a smaller, more sheltered setting.
