St. Louis River, Boyscout Public Boat Ramp

Located at Commonwealth Avenue in New Duluth where it meets the St. Louis River, this public boat ramp provides access to the upper river and is managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

The landing features a boat launch facility and offers shore fishing opportunities, though note that a fishing pier that was historically available has been temporarily relocated due to sandbar development.

This is a convenient access point for boaters exploring the river upstream toward Spirit Lake and the Thompson Reservoir Dam.
