A concrete-plank boat ramp on a marshy stretch of the Bowstring River along State Highway 6 in Bowstring Township, Itasca County — a quiet put-in for paddlers and small boats south of the Koochiching County line.
Rules for this place
Minnesota’s invasive species law rides home with the trailer: pull the drain plug, drain the water, and leave plants and prohibited species at the access. Fishing here falls under the Minnesota fishing regulations, and a named lake or river can carry special regulations of its own. Most motorized boats must carry current watercraft registration, and the DNR’s boat and water safety pages carry the life jacket and operation rules.
