Lake Macbride State Park Access

Lake Macbride State Park Access provides multiple boat ramps and a sandy beach for water access on the 812-acre lake.

The park offers boat rentals (pontoons, motorboats, canoes, kayaks, paddleboards), a fish cleaning station, and fishing jetties, with a 5 mph speed limit year-round and additional 10 hp motor restrictions during peak season (Memorial Day through Labor Day).

Modern campground facilities with electric and full hookup sites, plus a primitive campground option, make it suitable for extended visits.
