Sewell Lake

Sewell Lake is a 369-acre lake located in Dalton, Otter Tail County, offering public boat access via a dedicated ramp. The lake reaches a maximum depth of 52 feet, making it suitable for various watercraft including kayaks, canoes, and trailered boats up to 12-18 feet. This access point provides a convenient launching location for paddlers and anglers looking to explore the scenic waters of northwest Minnesota.

The boat ramp is free to use and requires no vehicle permit unless located within a park with special requirements. The surrounding area offers proximity to the Fergus Falls Wetland Management District, which manages nearly 50,000 acres of wildlife habitat across five counties—making this an excellent launching point for wildlife viewing and nature-based paddling.
