Bluewater Lake

Bluewater Lake Access provides multiple concrete boat ramps for launching watercraft, including three lanes at the main Stoneridge Recreation Area west of the park office and three additional lanes at Las Tusas Recreation Area east of the dam, plus a two-lane ramp west of the main facility.

The lake's 4. 6 miles of shoreline and approximately 1,500-acre surface area accommodate boating, kayaking, and fishing, with a hard-packed beach area on the west side available for beach launching when conditions permit.

Day-use passes are required ($5 facility fee plus reservation fee), and the park offers modern restrooms, picnic areas, and a visitor center.
