Badger Creek State Recreation Area offers two hard-surface boat ramps—one on the east side and one on the west side of the 276-acre lake—with courtesy docks for loading and unloading, plus multiple fishing jetties and an accessible pier for shore-based access.

All watercraft must operate at no-wake speed throughout the lake. The area is open daily 4 a. m. to 10:30 p. m. with free admission and parking available near the ramps.
