The public boat ramp at Lake Belle Taine is conveniently located at the edge of Nevis in Hubbard County, providing easy access to this 1,497-acre lake. The ramp serves as an ideal launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the Mantrap Chain of Lakes. A fishing pier is nearby on the eastern corner of the lake, and the site's proximity to town makes it a well-developed access point for recreation.
Lake Belle Taine offers calm water for paddling with a maximum depth of 56 feet. The lake connects to more than ten other lakes via the Sand River, making it an excellent hub for multi-lake adventures. While boaters can navigate the connecting rivers between most lakes, paddlers (especially those in canoes or kayaks) will find certain sections of the Sand River particularly well-suited for their vessels, offering scenic routes through the chain.
The area is popular for fishing and recreation, with Nevis hosting events year-round and the famous "Muskie Days" festival in July. Whether you're interested in fishing, paddling, or exploring the connected chain of clean, clear-water lakes, this access point provides a convenient starting location for water-based recreation in Hubbard County.
