The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is planning a complete rehabilitation of the South Center Public Water Access Site. This project will upgrade the parking lot, replace the existing concrete ramp, improve accessibility, and address best management practices for stormwater and aquatic invasive species.

The project will begin on August 17 and will take about 2 ½ months to complete. 

This project will result in a complete closure of the public water access site the access will be reopened this fall in time to remove boats from the lake before ice begins forming.

The project is being funded by the Get Out MORE (Modernize Outdoor Recreation Experiences) investment. 

For those boat owners who are concerned about removing their boat early this fall, Center Lakes Association has located a private boat launch with limited availability by appointment only. The cost is $40 per trailer. Interested owners can contact CLA for further details at [email protected]
