Ramp Quirks & Etiquette
Village Launch
Small launch at the north end of Intermediate Lake in the village of Central Lake. 1 lane, 3 trailer spots. Listed as just 'DNR Access Site' on Google Maps — easy to miss if searching by name.
Winter Access
At least one reviewer confirms the lot is plowed in winter (visited February 2025). If you need winter access to Intermediate Lake, this may be your option.
Limited Parking
Only 3 trailer spots. If you need more room, Openo Park on the east shore has 20 spots. Central Lake village is walkable for food and supplies — Bachmans and the ice cream shop are nearby.
