Pickerel Lake is an 849-acre lake in Otter Tail County, Minnesota, offering a public boat ramp as the primary access point for paddlers and boaters. The lake has a maximum depth of 78 feet and is well-suited for small craft including kayaks, canoes, and fishing boats. The ramp provides good parking facilities, making it convenient for launching your vessel.
This access site is ideal for non-motorized boating and fishing. Anglers will appreciate the shore fishing opportunities available at the lake. Facilities are minimal—there are no restrooms, picnic areas, or playground amenities on-site, so plan accordingly. Wheelchair accessibility is limited. The site is managed by the City of Saint Paul Parks and Recreation Department (651-266-6400) and there is no entrance fee to access the public boat launch.
