Green Prairie Fish Lake Public Water Access Site

Green Prairie Fish Lake Public Water Access Site is a public boat launch on Green Prairie Fish in Morrison County, Minnesota.

It is owned and managed by DNR Division of Parks and Trails.

Green Prairie Fish Lake Public Water Access Site is a trailer boat launch with a concrete slab ramp.

Facilities include 1 launch lane, courtesy boarding docks, and 14 trailer/tow-vehicle parking spaces.

The site is managed by DNR Division of Parks and Trails.

Green Prairie Fish is open to public fishing, boating and paddling across the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Anglers here target walleye, northern pike, largemouth and smallmouth bass, muskellunge, crappie, sunfish and yellow perch.

Lake Superior and the North Shore streams hold lake trout, steelhead and salmon.

On a lake like this, weed edges, drop-offs, points and structure hold fish through the open-water season.

Green Prairie Fish Lake Public Water Access Site is a public access point to Green Prairie Fish for trailered boats, kayaks and canoes.

This launch sits on Green Prairie Fish; look for other public access points, marinas and shoreline fishing spots along the same water, and check the Minnesota DNR for the full list of access sites nearby.

Conditions are usually milder than big water, but wind can still build a chop on open stretches. Watch for shallow bars, stumps and swimmers near shore, and check the forecast before a long run.

Carry U.S. Coast Guard–required safety gear, wear your life jacket, file a float plan for longer trips, and remember that spring and fall water is cold enough to cause hypothermia quickly.

A Minnesota fishing license is required for anglers 16 and older. Follow the Minnesota DNR's seasons, size and creel limits, which vary by water and species.

Clean, Drain and Dry: remove all aquatic plants and animals, drain every compartment, and never move live fish or bait between waters — this is how invasive species like zebra mussels and invasive carp spread.

Observe posted launch rules, no-wake and idle zones near the ramp, and any local watercraft controls.

Stage your gear before backing down to keep the lanes moving, especially on busy mornings. Check the ramp depth for your boat's draft, and rig the trailer lights to handle a dunk.

Arrive early on summer weekends for parking, and have a plan for wind direction before you launch on open water.
