Parley Lake is a 258-acre public access lake in Carver County offering a public boat launch for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters. The lake has a maximum depth of 18 feet and provides scenic paddling with access to the Park Reserve shoreline. This is a good option for paddlers seeking a moderately-sized lake with established public access.
**Practical Information:** A daily boat launch pass costs $8 plus tax and can be purchased online or on-site. Annual passes are also available through the Three Rivers Park District. The ramp is located in Waconia at coordinates 44.87873928, -93.73599497. If you prefer no-wake conditions, note that nearby Stieger Lake offers an alternative quieter paddling option within the same park system.
