Keeley Island offers a convenient public boat launch on Shetek Lake, a 3,462-acre recreational lake in Murray County near Slayton, Minnesota. The ramp provides access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore this shallow lake, which has a maximum depth of 10 feet. In addition to the boat launch, the site features rental options including canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards, making it accessible for visitors without their own equipment.
The access area is part of a larger park facility with several amenities worth noting. Anglers can use the wooden fishing pier (which offers views toward Keeley Island and Loon Island), while the picnic grounds provide shaded areas and water views. Two picnic shelters are available for reservation. The calm, shallow conditions of Shetek Lake make it well-suited for paddling, particularly for beginners or families, though the relatively low depth means boaters should be aware of potential shallow areas when exploring.
