Rice Lake

Rice Lake provides public boat ramp access in Winnebago, Faribault County, with year-round availability. The ramp is accessible during most weather conditions, making it a reliable launch point for paddlers and boaters throughout the seasons. Keep in mind that the ramp has a relatively narrow width, which may present challenges for larger vessels during launch and retrieval.

This access site serves both kayakers/canoeists and motorized boaters on Rice Lake. The lake features navigational buoys (typically deployed in mid-May) to assist with safe navigation. If you're a shoreline property owner who pays Rice Lake Association dues, note that an access code is required to launch—contact the local association for current information. The site's year-round accessibility makes it a convenient option for paddling in various seasonal conditions.
