The Ponto boat ramp provides public access to Long Lake, a scenic 388-acre lake in Cass County, Minnesota. This concrete launch facility accommodates small to mid-sized boats and is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The lake's maximum depth of 60 feet makes it suitable for various water activities, and the access point is conveniently located in the Backus area.
No launch fees are required at this site, making it an affordable option for paddlers and boaters. Most standard boat ramps can accommodate vessels up to 12-18 feet, though capacity varies by ramp.
