Kimball Lake

Kimball Lake offers a public boat launch providing access to this 190-acre lake in Crow Wing County's scenic lake country near Pequot Lakes. The lake reaches a maximum depth of 77 feet, making it suitable for various boating activities. The ramp is located at a rustic campground setting with vault toilets and potable water available on-site, though facilities are minimal.

The access point is situated about 15 minutes outside Grand Marais on the Gunflint Trail (County Road 12). A hiking trail circles the lake for those interested in exploring the shoreline on foot. The area is part of Minnesota's beautiful North Shore lake region, with nearby access to the Mississippi River Headwaters and the Cross Lake chain. This is a good option for kayakers and canoeists seeking a quieter, more rustic lake experience away from developed recreation areas.
