Marinas & Boat Ramps in Brainerd

15 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Marinas and boat ramps are the launch points and home base for anyone fishing from their own boat. Public boat ramps are often free or charge a small launch or parking fee, while full-service marinas add slips, fuel docks, bait, pump-outs and sometimes a shop or restaurant. If you trailer a boat, the ramp is where the day starts - and details like ramp condition, tide access, parking for trailers and hours matter as much as anything. Facilities and fees vary a lot from a simple concrete ramp to a large marina, so it helps to know what a location offers before you arrive. The listings here help you find ramps and marinas by city and state.

Below are 15 marinas & boat ramps listings in Brainerd, MN, ranked by Google review volume so you can start with the most established options and contact them directly. The most-reviewed is Terry's Boat Harbor (4.3★, 184 Google reviews).

FAQ

Marinas & Boat Ramps in Brainerd - common questions

How many marinas & boat ramps are there in Brainerd? +

Who has the best-rated marinas & boat ramps in Brainerd? +

Are public boat ramps free? +
Many public boat ramps are free to use, though some charge a launch fee or require paid trailer parking, and busy ramps can fill up early on weekends. Fees and hours vary by location and managing agency - confirm before you tow your boat out.
What is the difference between a boat ramp and a marina? +
A boat ramp is a launch point for trailered boats - often just a concrete ramp and parking. A marina is a larger facility that may add slips, fuel, bait, pump-outs, repairs and a shop or restaurant. Some listings are ramps only, others full marinas, so check what each location offers.
How do I find a boat ramp or marina near me? +
Browse the ramps and marinas listed by city and state here to see nearby launch points and what facilities they offer. Because ramp condition, tide access and hours change, confirm current details with the marina or the agency that manages the ramp before your trip.
How much does a fishing guide cost in Brainerd? +
Most Brainerd guides run about $350-$600. Half-day open-water trips sit at the lower end, while full days and heated ice-house trips push higher. Rates are usually per boat for one to three anglers, so confirm the all-in price and guest count with the operator.
What fish can you catch around Brainerd? +
Walleye is the headliner, but Gull Lake and the surrounding chain also give up muskie, northern pike, smallmouth bass, crappie and bluegill depending on the season.
Is ice fishing available in Brainerd? +
Yes. From roughly late December into March, guides run heated wheelhouses and portable shelters for walleye, perch and crappie across the Brainerd Lakes and nearby Mille Lacs.
When is the best time to fish Brainerd for walleye? +
The May opener and June are excellent for shallow jig bites, while summer live-bait rigging and the winter ice season both produce consistently.
