Prairie River (S) Public Water Access Site

This Minnesota Power-managed access site on the Prairie River offers a gravel parking area and designated fishing areas on both sides of the dam, with a 1,500-foot canoe portage trail available for paddlers.

The site is open 24/7 year-round and provides free access, though there are no public restrooms or amenities; visitors should note the portage trail is not ADA-compliant and the area experiences moderate recreational use primarily for fishing and walking.
