Located in Willmar, Kandiyohi County, the North access site provides public boat launch access to Lake Wakanda, a 1,760-acre recreational lake. This ramp accommodates boats up to 12-18 feet, making it suitable for most recreational kayaks, canoes, and small to medium-sized motorboats. There are no launch fees at this location.
Lake Wakanda offers a relatively shallow paddling environment with a maximum depth of 15 feet, making it manageable for paddlers of various skill levels. The lake has recently undergone habitat improvements with the installation of water control structures designed to support fish movement and aquatic life. Whether you're interested in paddling, fishing, or recreational boating, this north-side access provides a convenient entry point to one of the county's popular water recreation destinations.
