Hanson Boat Ramp provides public access to Lake Hanson, a 60-acre reservoir in central Hanson County that serves as a popular recreation destination for boating and fishing.

The ramp is part of a county recreation area on the north shore that includes a campground, picnic area, and public beach. Lake Hanson is subject to a "no wake zone" regulation when water elevation reaches 12 inches or greater over the spillway elevation.
