About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** The public boat ramp is located in Hubbard Park at the north end of Lake Bloomington. To reach it, take County Road 1750 East to Park View Lane, then turn east on Park View which leads directly to the ramp and parking area. This 560-acre lake in McLean County is a popular destination for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters.

**Boating Information:** A boat sticker is required by the City of Bloomington and can be purchased at the ramp. A usage fee applies to access the ramp and lake. The lake has a 40 hp outboard motor restriction and allows recreational boating. Note that the motor boat ramp can get crowded and is steep—paddlers seeking quieter conditions may want to explore alternative put-in options at green spaces around the lake's perimeter to avoid the busy ramp area. Fishing is permitted with pole and line only (no trot lines, jugs, or bank poles).
