Located in Ely near the Superior National Forest, Moose Lake offers a well-maintained public boat ramp ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The access features a **double concrete ramp with a center dock** positioned on the southeast shore off Moose Lake Road, providing reliable launch conditions for smaller to medium-sized watercraft. This is also the primary access point for the park's boat, canoe, and kayak rental services—stop at the park office to arrange rentals or check out equipment.
Moose Lake State Park surrounds the access area, offering 35 campsites, a visitor center, fishing pier, and beach facilities within walking distance of the boat ramp. The lake is part of the scenic Moose Lake Chain and sits within the Superior National Forest region, making it an excellent base for exploring local waterways. The area is particularly notable for fall color viewing and early morning paddling with excellent reflections and fog. Anglers, paddlers, and campers will find this a convenient, well-developed staging point for water-based recreation.
