Shaw Bosh Kung Park offers a convenient public boat access point on the west side of Mille Lacs Lake, located off Highway 169 near Onamia. The facility features a concrete ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats up to 18 feet. As a public water access, it is open 24 hours a day and accommodates both trailer and carry-in launches.
Mille Lacs Lake is Minnesota's second-largest lake and provides excellent opportunities for paddling, fishing, and recreational boating. The park's location on the west shore makes it a good starting point for exploring different areas of the lake. Paddlers should be aware that Mille Lacs is a large, open body of water that can experience significant wind and waves, so checking weather conditions before launching is recommended. The nearby Mille Lacs National Wildlife Refuge offers additional wildlife viewing opportunities for visitors to the area.
