About This Access Site
Bear Creek Lake City Park offers a convenient public boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats onto Bear Creek and Bear Creek Lake. The boat ramp is located on the northeastern edge of the lake, providing easy access to the calm waters.

Bear Creek is a small, slow-moving creek that flows into the larger Bear Creek Reservoir. The reservoir has a 2,624-acre surface area and is a popular destination for recreational boating, with a 10-horsepower or wakeless speed limit in place. Paddlers can explore the peaceful waters of the creek and lake, while small motor boats can take advantage of the open expanses.

The park grounds offer ample parking and amenities like hiking trails, a swim beach, and picnic areas, making it a great spot for a day on the water. Boaters should note that there are no reservable facilities or fees mentioned in the official Recreation.gov listing, so access to the ramp is likely open to the public. Before visiting, it's recommended to check any local regulations or restrictions that may apply.
