Merwin Reservoir Access

Merwin Reservoir Access provides boat launch facilities at Speelyai Bay and Cresap Bay, with Cresap Bay offering a two-lane ramp, parking, and beach area suitable for motor and non-motor boats.

A launch fee applies on weekends, and visitors should call 800-547-1501 for updated reservoir levels, as water fluctuations can affect boat access. Very limited shore access is available at this North Fork Lewis River impoundment near Ariel.
