Shetek Lake (East)

Located near Currie in Murray County, the East boat ramp provides public access to Shetek Lake, a 3,462-acre recreational lake ideal for kayaking, canoeing, and motorboating. The lake's maximum depth of 10 feet makes it suitable for various water activities, though paddlers should be aware of shallow areas. This access point is part of Shetek State Park, which offers a scenic area with hiking trails, historic points of interest, and a popular canoe route that connects to nearby Smith Lake via portage.

Paddlers and boaters can expect typical Minnesota lake conditions at this site. The ramp accommodates both hand-launch and trailer-based watercraft. For canoeists interested in a full excursion, the marked canoe route to Smith Lake provides a worthwhile paddle with a short portage connection, allowing you to explore two connected lakes in one outing. Boat and equipment rentals are available at the park if needed.
