About This Access Site
Johnson Park offers a public boat ramp on Dog Lake in Wright County, providing convenient access for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The facility features a two-lane boat ramp, parking for approximately 20 vehicles, and amenities including restrooms and a picnic area. The ramps are generally accessible during normal water levels, though you may want to check conditions during low-water periods. No launch fees apply unless a vehicle permit is required for park entry.

This access point is well-suited for small to mid-sized recreational watercraft. The park setting makes it a good choice for paddlers looking for a developed launch location with basic facilities. Before heading out, paddlers should check current lake conditions and water levels, particularly if launching larger canoes or kayaks. The site's parking and amenities make it suitable for families and those planning extended time on the water.
