About this launch

Pokegama Lake , Troop Town

The Pokegama Lake boat ramp in Troop Town, Minnesota is a concrete boat ramp that is approximately 25 feet wide. It services Pokegama Lake, which is a 6,612-acre lake that is known for its fishing and recreational opportunities. According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the lake is open to a variety of watercraft, including fishing boats, pontoon boats, canoes, and kayaks, among others. However, there are restrictions on the use of personal watercraft (PWC) on the lake. As of the latest information available, the use of PWC is restricted to a designated area of the lake.

Boating safety & etiquette

Check the conditions before you launch
Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Wear your life jacket
Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
File a float plan
Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
Yield at the ramp
Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
Clean, drain, dry
Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

FAQ

About Pokegama Lake , Troop Town

Can I launch a motorboat here?

Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.

How fresh is the streamflow data?

USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.

Is there a fee?

Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.

What boat is right for these conditions?
