The Highway 65 Bridge access site provides public boat launch facilities on Swan Lake near Pengilly in Itasca County. This access point is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and small to mid-sized motorboats. Like most Minnesota public accesses, there are no launch fees unless the site is located within a park requiring a vehicle permit.
Swan Lake is a popular destination for paddling and recreational boating in the area. Before launching, check current water conditions and weather, as these can significantly affect paddling safety and enjoyment. Typical boat ramps in Minnesota can accommodate 12-18 foot boats, though capacity varies by site.
