Rice Lake in Emmons County offers a private boat ramp at 235 Rice Lake Rd N in Douglas, ND (near Hull) that is graciously maintained by a homeowner and managed through the Rice Lake Area Association (RLAA). This access point provides kayakers, canoeists, and boaters with a dedicated launch facility for exploring the lake. The site is conveniently located near other amenities, including a public swimming beach and a primitive campground with fishing areas.
Before launching, paddlers should note that access is managed by RLAA members and the local community. For specific details about current conditions, any access restrictions, or regulations, contact the Rice Lake Association through their Facebook page (facebook.com/NDRiceLake) or email ricelakend@gmail.com. This is a good resource for learning about water conditions, wind patterns, and fishing spots on the lake. The surrounding area offers a pleasant recreational setting for a day of paddling or boating in north-central North Dakota.
