Bobwhite Lake State Park

Bobwhite Lake State Park near Allerton offers a convenient public boat launch for paddlers and boaters in Wayne County. The facility features a dedicated dock for boat tie-up and designated kayak launching space, making it accessible for both motorized boats and human-powered watercraft. Most standard recreational boats (12-18 feet) can be launched here, though specific ramp capabilities may vary. There are no launch fees unless a vehicle permit is required for park entry.

The park provides excellent amenities beyond water access, including camping (tent and RV sites), a showerhouse, and nearby hiking trails through restored prairie habitat. Bobwhite Lake is a popular destination for fishing, swimming, and wildlife viewing. Plan your visit during normal park operating hours and check current lake conditions before launching, as minimum water levels may affect ramp usability during drought periods.
