Sawmill Lake is a small 14-acre lake in Washburn County offering public boat access via a gravel ramp. The lake reaches a maximum depth of 26 feet and supports populations of panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike, and trout, making it suitable for both fishing and recreational paddling. This is a modest-sized access point that can fill quickly during summer weekends, so plan accordingly if you're visiting during peak season.
The site features a gravel boat ramp and is located near primitive campsites, providing options for paddlers interested in overnight trips. Note that the access road and parking area are not plowed during winter months, and the site is not gated in the off-season. For additional launching options, nearby alternatives include ramps at Pine Acres and Cooke Dam.
