Big Carnelian Lake Public Water Access Site

This DNR-managed public boat ramp on Big Carnelian Lake's west shore features newly improved concrete launching facilities with a dock, located off Otchipwe Avenue North just north of Stillwater.

The horseshoe-shaped parking lot can fill quickly on weekends and nice weekdays, with overflow parking sometimes occurring along the nearby highway; winter visitors should note the lot may not be plowed and the ice can buckle at the launch.

The ramp provides access to a 457-acre lake popular for both boating and ice fishing, though it's best visited on weekdays to avoid congestion.
