Long Lake is a 285-acre lake in Meeker County offering a public boat ramp for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. Located in Dassel, this access point provides a concrete ramp suitable for launching small to medium-sized watercraft. The lake's modest size makes it ideal for paddlers seeking a manageable day trip or recreational outing without navigating large open water.

Anglers will find northern pike, largemouth bass, and panfish species in Long Lake, making it a popular destination for fishing as well as paddling. The lake has a maximum depth of 33 feet. The nearby Litchfield Wetland Management District offers additional wildlife viewing opportunities for those interested in exploring waterfowl habitat and migratory bird areas in the region. This site works well for paddlers of various skill levels looking for a quieter lake setting.
