Smokey Hollow Lake

Smokey Hollow Lake is a 125-acre lake in Crow Wing County near Outing, Minnesota, offering public boat access via a maintained launch ramp. The lake reaches a maximum depth of 25 feet and features medium-to-high water clarity, making it suitable for various water activities.

The relatively modest size of the lake makes it manageable for paddlers of varying skill levels, while the good water clarity provides excellent visibility for navigation and fishing.
