Round Lake

Round Lake in Brainerd offers a well-developed public boat launch ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The access features a concrete approach with parking available and pit toilet facilities. With a developed access point spanning less than 50 yards, this is a straightforward launch suitable for paddlers of all experience levels looking for a convenient entry point.

This small inland lake is an excellent choice for recreational paddling, particularly for sunrise and sunset paddles. The calm, sheltered waters make it welcoming for first-time boaters and families. The site's proximity to the Mississippi River Headwaters region (near Gull Lake) adds appeal for those exploring the broader Brainerd area waterways. Before launching, check local regulations regarding motor restrictions and any seasonal closures.
