Watson Landing in Ericsburg, Minnesota offers Rat Root River access!
Rules for this place
The Minnesota fishing regulations do not treat the Rat Root River on its own: its special-regulation entry points to Rainy Lake, and the Rainy Lake rules, border waters among them, are the ones that apply. 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. Most motorized boats must carry current watercraft registration, and the DNR’s boat and water safety pages carry the life jacket and operation rules.
