Pickerel Lake is a shallow 108-acre lake in Nickerson, Pine County, offering a convenient public boat ramp for paddlers and small boaters. The lake's maximum depth of 11 feet makes it ideal for kayaks, canoes, and small fishing boats. This is the primary access point for the lake and suitable for non-motorized craft looking for a calm paddling environment.
The access site provides good parking and is managed by the City of Saint Paul Parks and Recreation Department. Note that wheelchair accessibility is limited, and there are no restrooms or amenities on-site, so plan accordingly. The lake is popular with anglers for shore fishing and boat angling opportunities.
