Highline Lake State Park Access

Highline Lake State Park offers multiple access points for paddling and fishing, including a West Boat Ramp on the west side of the park and an East Boat Ramp near the visitor center.

Highline Lake is open to motorized boating March 1–September 30 (with Wednesday no-wake restrictions), while Mack Mesa Lake is restricted to hand-powered or electric-motor vessels only; both require ANS inspections before launching.

The park provides a free Life Jacket Loaner Program at the visitor center and West Entrance, making it convenient for paddlers and casual boaters.
