This public boat ramp provides good access to Petenwell Lake with no fees, though the access drive is quite steep. Follow proper boat ramp etiquette by not blocking trailer parking and loading/unloading quickly, as it is a smaller facility.

The ramp serves as a suitable put-in/take-out point for exploring the lake's sheltered sloughs, islands, and sandbanks, though paddlers should monitor wind forecasts carefully due to the lake's tendency to develop large waves in gusty conditions.
