Round Lake

Round Lake in Dresser offers a well-developed public access point ideal for paddlers and boaters of all skill levels. The ramp features a paved concrete launch with a short access distance (less than 50 yards), making it convenient for getting your kayak, canoe, or motorboat on the water. Parking is available at the site, along with pit toilet facilities. This is an excellent choice for beginners looking to launch on a calm, manageable inland lake.

From this access point, paddlers can explore Round Lake and its chain of connected waters, including Pike, Amik, and Turner lakes, offering extended paddling opportunities. The lake is surrounded by public lands managed by the St. Croix Wetland Management District, which provides habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife—making this a scenic spot for nature-focused paddling. The area also features the Round Lake Trail (3.5 miles), a hiking option for those interested in exploring beyond the water.

The ramp serves as a gateway to both recreational paddling and the Flambeau Motorized Trail system. Whether you're planning a quiet sunrise or sunset paddle on the lake or looking to explore the wider chain of lakes, this well-maintained access point provides a solid starting point.
