The Joe Neer boat ramp provides public access to Lake Monongalia, a 2,290-acre impoundment on the Middle Fork Crow River in New London, Kandiyohi County. This ramp is one of four public access points on the lake and serves as a convenient launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats exploring the water body. The lake has a maximum depth of 14 feet, making it suitable for various paddling skill levels.
Lake Monongalia connects directly to the Middle Fork Crow River system, with the river entering at the northern portion of the lake and exiting via the New London dam. This connectivity makes the site ideal for paddlers interested in exploring multiple water bodies in the region—the Middle Fork Crow River extends upstream and downstream into additional lakes including Green Lake and Nest Lake, offering extended paddling opportunities. The moderate size and shallow depth profile suggest relatively calm conditions typical of this section of Minnesota's river system.
