**Ocheda Lake West** is a public boat ramp providing access to Ocheda Lake, a 1,691-acre lake in Nobles County near Worthington, Minnesota. This west-side access point is ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The lake's shallow maximum depth of 5 feet makes it well-suited for paddling and recreational boating throughout the year. Standard boat ramps in the area typically accommodate 12-18 foot boats, though capacity may vary.
This is a no-fee public access site—a great option for paddlers looking to explore a substantial recreational lake without launch costs. The lake's size and shallow profile create calm, manageable conditions for most skill levels. Note that there is also a second public access point at Pickeral County Park on the northwestern shore if you prefer alternative launch options.
