Willmar Lake

Willmar Lake is a popular urban paddling destination located within Willmar city limits in Kandiyohi County. Public boat access is available on the south shore at **Robbins Island Regional Park**, a large city park that provides excellent facilities for launching kayaks, canoes, and other boats. The access point features a paved boat ramp with trailer parking, making it convenient for both day-trippers and those towing vessels.

The lake is well-suited for paddling and fishing, with amenities including boat docks along the park's shoreline. From the east and west ends of Robbins Island Park, paddlers can access both Willmar Lake and the adjacent Foot Lake, with peninsulas extending into both water bodies offering scenic paddling opportunities and fishing spots. The lake supports a healthy fish population including walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, and panfish, making it attractive to anglers as well as recreational paddlers.
