White Sand Lake

White Sand Lake is a 413-acre lake in Crow Wing County, Minnesota, offering public boat access via a dedicated launch ramp near Baxter. The lake has a maximum depth of 27 feet, making it suitable for a variety of watercraft. This is a good destination for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters looking for a moderate-sized lake with established access infrastructure.

The boat ramp accommodates vessels up to 12-18 feet, though some launch facilities may handle larger boats. There are typically no launch fees unless the access site is located within a park requiring a vehicle permit—check locally for current requirements. The lake's size and depth provide options for both casual paddling and fishing, with proximity to the Mississippi River Headwaters and Gull Lake for those interested in exploring nearby waterways.
