About This Access Site
West Hunter Lake is a 61-acre lake located in Zimmerman, Sherburne County, offering public boat access via a dedicated launch ramp. The shallow lake has a maximum depth of 6 feet, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small recreational boats. This is a straightforward access point for paddlers looking to explore the lake's calm waters.

The ramp is located near the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge area in scenic east-central Minnesota, approximately 50 miles northwest of Minneapolis-St. Paul. Standard boat ramps in Minnesota typically accommodate 12-18 foot boats, though specific facilities and amenities at this site should be confirmed in advance. There are no launch fees unless the site requires a vehicle permit; check local regulations before visiting.
