About This Access Site
The Hill Lake (North) boat ramp provides public access to Hill Lake, a 794-acre lake in scenic Aitkin County near Hill City, Minnesota. This is a straightforward launch facility suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats up to approximately 12-18 feet. The lake's maximum depth of 48 feet makes it a solid destination for both recreational paddling and fishing.

As a public access point, there are no launch fees unless a vehicle permit is required by the park or county. Before visiting, check the Minnesota DNR's Lake Finder tool or contact local authorities for current conditions, seasonal closures, and any facility updates. The site's GPS coordinates (46.99403, -93.58987) will help you locate the ramp if using a navigation device.
