Little Jessie Lake

Little Jessie Lake offers public boat access via a **concrete boat ramp** located on the northwest shore, just south of Itasca County Highway 35 near Deer River. This 637-acre lake with a maximum depth of 50 feet provides a good option for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the Itasca County area. The ramp's concrete surface and established landing make it a reliable access point for launching small to medium-sized watercraft.

The lake supports healthy populations of northern pike, walleye, perch, and other panfish, making it popular with anglers. Paddlers and boaters should note the proximity to the Mississippi River Headwaters region and nearby Winnibigosh Lake, offering opportunities to explore multiple water bodies in the area. Before visiting, confirm current conditions and any specific regulations for the lake, as water levels and seasonal changes can affect launch conditions.
