Esther Lake Public Water Access Site

Esther Lake Public Water Access Site features a boat ramp providing access to pristine Esther Lake in the remote Grand Portage State Forest north of Grand Marais.

The access point is adjacent to a rustic campground with three primitive campsites (first-come, first-served), vault toilets, and a dock, making it ideal for paddlers and anglers seeking a secluded wilderness experience.

Located approximately one hour north of Grand Marais via back forest roads, this remote access point is best suited for visitors prepared for minimal facilities and willing to navigate challenging road conditions.
