Morin Lake

Morin Lake is a small 21-acre lake in Alden, Freeborn County, offering a public boat launch for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters. With a maximum depth of 7 feet, this shallow lake is suitable for small watercraft and recreational paddling. The launch accommodates boats up to 12-18 feet, though larger vessels may be possible depending on ramp conditions.

This is a no-fee access point, making it an affordable option for a quick paddle or fishing trip in southern Minnesota. Given the lake's modest size and shallow depth, expect calm water conditions ideal for beginners and families. Before launching, check current water levels and ramp conditions, as shallow lakes can experience seasonal fluctuations that may affect access.
