Located near the Canadian border in International Falls, this public boat ramp provides convenient access to Rainy Lake. The ramp features ample parking for boats and trailers, making it suitable for launching vessels up to 12-18 feet, depending on water conditions. This is a no-fee access point, making it an accessible option for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters exploring the lake.
The site's proximity to the U.S.-Canada border and Peace Park area makes it a popular starting point for paddlers and boaters. Those planning extended trips should note that Voyageurs National Park camping permits are available within 10 miles of the access site, providing overnight options for multi-day excursions. Before launching, check current water conditions and wind direction, as Rainy Lake can experience variable conditions typical of northern Minnesota waters.
