Matoska Park

Matoska Park offers a well-developed public access point on White Bear Lake in Ramsey County, featuring dedicated boat ramps, canoe landings, and canoe racks. The 4-acre park spans the shoreline from 7th Street to the Manitou Island Bridge and provides a shaded setting with picnic tables and benches. The facilities are particularly accessible when lake levels are lower, making it a reliable launching point for paddlers and boaters throughout the season.

The park includes sailboat docking and rigging facilities, boat docks, and boat landings alongside canoe-specific amenities, making it suitable for various watercraft. White Bear Lake is shared by multiple municipalities (White Bear Lake, White Bear Township, Dellwood, Mahtomedi, and Birchwood Village), with several public access sites available around the lake. This location also serves as a gateway to nearby paddling and boating opportunities, with the Mississippi River's recreational areas accessible for those seeking alternate paddling destinations.
