Located in Hastings near Dakota County, Lake Rebecca Park offers a convenient boat ramp for accessing the 263-acre Lake Rebecca. The facility includes dedicated car and trailer parking on the northwest end of the lake. **A daily or annual boat/trailer pass is required to launch.** The park is operated by the City of Hastings and is open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
**Important restriction:** Lake Rebecca is limited to **electric motors only**—no gas-powered boats are permitted. This makes it an ideal destination for kayakers, canoeists, and those with electric trolling motors. The lake has a maximum depth of 30 feet and is regularly stocked with fish by the DNR, making it popular with anglers as well.
For paddlers seeking a different experience, Lake Rebecca Park also offers **carry-in access to the Crow River**, allowing for additional exploration beyond the lake itself. The nearby Mississippi River (Pool 2) between St. Paul and Hastings provides another nearby paddling option for boaters interested in exploring the Upper Mississippi River Valley.
