Rice Lake is an 859-acre lake in Burnett County offering a public boat ramp for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The lake has a maximum depth of 19 feet, making it suitable for recreational paddling and fishing. This access point provides a convenient launch location for exploring the lake's waters.
The nearby Veterans Memorial Park (located on Orchard Beach Lane on Lower Rice Lake) is completely ADA accessible and features amenities including restrooms, parking, picnic shelters, and outdoor grills—making it a comfortable option for a full day of paddling or boating. Rice Lake supports a healthy fishery including musky, northern pike, walleye, largemouth bass, and panfish, so anglers and paddlers often share the water.
Before heading out, check current wind conditions and weather forecasts, as conditions can change on larger lakes. The public boat landings provide reliable access for launching your watercraft.
