Winnebago

The Winnebago boat ramp provides public access to Rice Lake in Faribault County and is a popular launch point for kayakers and canoeists, particularly during spring and summer months. The ramp is open year-round and accessible during most weather conditions, making it a reliable option for paddlers planning trips on the lake. Note that larger boats may experience some difficulty launching due to the ramp's relatively narrow width—most ramps accommodate 12-18 foot boats comfortably.

Rice Lake supports a variety of water activities with no motor restrictions, though it's worth checking current conditions before launching. The park office may offer seasonal canoe and kayak rentals, so contact ahead if you're interested. There are typically no launch fees unless the access is located within a park requiring a vehicle permit. Fall paddlers should be aware that the area is also popular with waterfowl hunters during that season.
