BirdTroutOpen the map How to get to the French River, Minnesota
This site holds no file of mapped access sites for Minnesota, so it can say where the public ground on the French River is and not where the landings are. 4 blocks of public land front the French River, and 18.1 of its 12.9 mapped miles run through them.
We have no mapped access sites for Minnesota. That is an absence of data and not a statement that there are none — the public ground below is what this page can answer with.
Public land on the water
- French River State Aquatic Management Area (St. Louis) — state natural-resources agency, 8.96 mi of this river, 264 acres in all, restricted access
- French River Ama (St. Louis) — Minnesota DNR, 7.11 mi of this river, 114 acres in all

Ownership from PAD-US as the state publishes it. Where a block has its own page, the name links to it. The river miles are how far this river's drawn axis runs inside each block, measured here; the acreage is the whole unit's, most of which is nowhere near this water. "Restricted access" and "access unrecorded" are PAD-US's own words for the block, and neither one means open — check before you park.
