Farm Lake Public Water Access Site

Farm Lake Public Water Access Site features a concrete plank boat ramp on the western shore off County Road 16 (Kawishiwi Trail), approximately 5 miles east of Ely, Minnesota, serving as Entry Point 31 to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

The site accommodates both paddle and motorized craft (25 horsepower limit) with a strict quota of 3 overnight permits per day (May 1–September 30) to manage visitor impact, making it ideal for those seeking quieter, low-traffic access to Farm Lake and connections to South Farm Lake and interior wilderness routes.
