County Public Water Accesses  
The County Park System administers and maintains over 75 public water accesses for residents and visitor’s boating and fishing pleasure.  Public access sites are classified as class 1, 2, or 3 by their accessibility to the water as part of the Park System’s management philosophy.  Class 1: good roadways, the best quality sites, suited for most vehicle types and sizes of boats with concrete ramps.  Class 2: graveled roadways with gravel ramps designed to handle up to a 16' fishing boat.  Class 3: minimally maintained roadways with a natural shoreline and are designed to be back-up-to or carry-in sites for small 12' to 14' boats.  Camping is not permitted at public access sites unless designated by signage.  The Itasca County Highway Map includes the locations of local, county, state, and federal public accesses.
