Sylvia Lake

The public boat ramp at Sylvia Lake provides convenient access to this 904-acre lake located near Melrose in Stearns County. The well-maintained ramp offers smooth launching for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The lake's relatively clear water and maximum depth of 97 feet make it suitable for various paddling and boating activities, from leisurely exploration to fishing excursions.

Additional amenities enhance your visit to the area. A fishing pier and shoreline fishing sites are located at Lake Sylvia County Park on the south end of the lake, immediately adjacent to the public boat access. If you don't have your own equipment, kayak rentals are available at the Lake Sylvia Marina, along with other watercraft options. The well-developed facilities and park setting make this a solid choice for a half-day or full-day paddling outing.
