**Location & Basic Info**
Wood Lake is a 485-acre lake located in Watonwan County, Minnesota, accessible via a public boat launch near Sveadahl. This scenic access point serves paddlers, anglers, and recreational boaters looking to explore the lake and surrounding area.
**What to Expect**
With a maximum depth of 9 feet, Wood Lake is suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. The launch can typically accommodate 12-18 foot boats, though some ramps may handle larger vessels.
