Ranier Landing offers public water access on Rainy Lake right downtown Ranier!
Rules for this place
Rainy Lake is named in the border waters section of the Minnesota fishing regulations, which decides which license lets an angler fish which side of the line. 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. Rainy Lake is on the DNR’s infested waters list for spiny waterflea and zebra mussel, which adds bait and water-transport rules for anyone leaving it. Part of Rainy Lake lies inside Voyageurs National Park, and park rules apply on the water there regardless of who owns the land beneath it.
