Lake Tyler offers multiple free public boat ramps operated by the City of Tyler and Smith County, with the Highway 64 Ramp featuring a single-lane concrete ramp, parking for 60 vehicles, picnic areas, and camping available year-round (though not useful during low water levels).

Most ramps are free to use, though the Lake Tyler Marina charges a small launch fee; all facilities are open year-round and operated by the City of Tyler Water Utility or Smith County.
