Located in Fairmont, Martin County, Wilmert Lake offers public boat launch access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The lake actually consists of two connected bays (Main Bay and South Bay) with a combined surface area of nearly 700 acres, making it a substantial paddling destination in southern Minnesota.
The shallow lake has a maximum depth of 8 feet, which is ideal for recreational paddling and fishing. Most standard boat ramps here can accommodate boats up to 12-18 feet in length. There are typically no launch fees at this access point unless a vehicle permit is required. Before visiting, check current conditions and facilities via the Minnesota DNR's Lake Finder tool to confirm the ramp's status and any updates.
