The South boat ramp provides public access to Lake Wakanda, a 1,760-acre lake in Willmar, Kandiyohi County. This is a straightforward launch facility suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The ramp can accommodate boats up to 12-18 feet, making it accessible for most small to mid-sized watercraft. There are no launch fees unless the site requires a vehicle permit.
Lake Wakanda has a maximum depth of 15 feet and offers a relatively calm paddling environment for recreational users. The lake connects to Big Kandiyohi Lake via water control structures on the south side, providing opportunities for extended exploration if desired. The South access point is the primary launch location for the lake and is suitable for anglers, paddlers, and day-use boaters looking to explore this scenic Kandiyohi County waterway.
