Black Oak Bayou Boat Ramp provides access to the Kankakee River and its bayous within LaSalle Fish & Wildlife Area, with a boat launch and parking lot available.

The ramp is closed to fishing and water recreation from September 1 through the end of waterfowl season, though it may open for ice fishing during this period with favorable conditions.

Kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding are permitted, and all users must possess a wearable personal floatation device while on the water.
