The Long Lake Public Access at the Long Lake Recreation Area is the only public boat launch on this large 3,478-acre lake in Washburn County. The facility features a well-maintained paved boat ramp with a 3-foot launch depth and boarding dock, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. A daily access fee of $5 is charged (seasonal passes available for $20), and the site includes ADA-accessible facilities for improved accessibility.
Long Lake is a substantial water body with a maximum depth of 74 feet, offering plenty of room for paddling and exploration. The lake supports diverse fish populations including walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, panfish, and perch, making it popular with anglers. Whether you're launching a kayak for a leisurely paddle or a motorboat for fishing, this is the primary public access point for the lake, so expect moderate activity, especially during peak seasons.
