About This Access Site
Located on the far eastern end of Upper Maple Lake in Buffalo, Wright County, this public access site offers a concrete boat ramp, dock, and trailer parking—making it a convenient launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The site includes a picnic area and provides access to what appears to be a popular fishing destination with amenities like a fishing pier on the lake's east side and rental options available nearby.

The ramp is suitable for boats up to 12-18 feet in most conditions. There are no launch fees unless operating within a park requiring a vehicle permit. The site is located on County State Aid Highway 37, making it easily accessible by vehicle. Paddlers should note the presence of a fishing pier and boat bump-outs in the southwest corner of the lake, which are worth knowing about when planning your route or anchoring.
