The Highway 2 boat ramp near Brookston provides convenient public access to the St. Louis River and the Duluth-Superior Harbor. This protected ramp area accommodates both trailer launches and carry-in access, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats up to 18 feet (some ramps can handle larger vessels). The location offers a gateway to exploring this significant water corridor in northeastern Minnesota.
Paddlers should note that public water accesses remain open 24 hours unless otherwise posted. The St. Louis River in this section offers good paddling opportunities, with alternative access points available nearby—including Boy Scout Landing in Gary-New Duluth and a boat ramp on the Wisconsin side near the Oliver Bridge. Check local conditions and water levels before launching, particularly if you plan to venture into the broader harbor system.
