Island Lake

Island Lake County Park offers convenient public boat access via an earthen ramp located on Victoria Avenue south of I-694 in Pine County. The 225-acre lake accommodates all types of watercraft, including kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats, provided they meet Minnesota DNR safety requirements. The park also features a fishing pier on the west shore near the ramp, making it a good option for paddlers looking to combine water access with shore-based activities.

With a maximum depth of 32 feet, Island Lake is suitable for recreational paddling and offers scenic, relatively undeveloped shoreline. The lake features a channel underneath I-694 that provides additional exploration opportunities. Whether you're planning a casual paddle, fishing trip, or day outing, this county park access point provides straightforward launch facilities and is a practical entry point for exploring the lake's waters.
