Big Carnelian Lake Boat Ramp

This public boat ramp on Big Carnelian Lake's southwest shore features newly improved concrete launch facilities with a dock, located off Otchipwe Avenue North near Stillwater.

The one-way horseshoe design requires entering from the south and exiting north, though parking can be limited on busy weekends and weekdays; winter visitors should note the steep exit hill may require 4-wheel drive if unplowed.

The ramp is managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and is suitable for both motorboats and kayaking on this clear, deep 457-acre lake.
