Big Sauk Lake Launch and Parking

[1eyeReD]

Quick question about the DNR launch on the very north end of Big Sauk in Sauk Centre. Is there ample parking? Also, is the launch in good shape? Too steep? Too shallow? I plan to go up this weekend with a 16 ft deep V.

 

Any fishin reports or water condition reports are welcomed too :-)

 

Thanks in advance!!

There is spots in the parking lot for roughly 7 vehicles with trailers. When that's full, you can park on the side of the road leading up to the access (I don't know if it's legal but have never seen tickets given out nor have I received one). The access is fairly steep but  in good shape. A 16ft will go up/down and launch no problem. 20'+ fish houses can make it up and down. 

 

The access on the south side (past the Bear trap) on Highway 71 has much more parking and is a flat landing with 2 docks.

 

Water clarity is good. Fishing is mediocre.
