**Location & Facilities**
Island Lake County Park provides public boat access via an earthen ramp on the north side of the lake, located south of Victoria Avenue in Lengby, Mahnomen County. The park also features a fishing pier on the west shore. This is a county-owned facility offering convenient launch access for all watercraft types.
**Water Body Overview**
Island Lake is a 225-acre recreational lake with a maximum depth of 32 feet. The lake supports both motorized and non-motorized use, including kayaks, canoes, sailboats, and powerboats—all must meet Minnesota DNR safety requirements. Anglers can fish from the pier, shoreline, and around the channel that passes under I-694.
**What to Expect**
This is a solid option for paddlers and casual boaters seeking accessible freshwater recreation. The earthen ramp is straightforward and well-maintained. The relatively calm 225-acre lake makes it suitable for kayaking and canoeing, though you should expect recreational powerboat traffic. Plan your visit with live wind conditions in mind, and check current regulations before launching.
