Butterfield Lake offers a public boat launch providing access to this water body located in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area within Siuslaw National Forest. The ramp is situated in Coos County near Saunders Lake and serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the local water system. This is a day-use facility with no reservation requirements.
The area provides convenient access for paddlers interested in exploring the scenic coastal dunes landscape. Nearby camping options are available at several facilities within a short distance, including Wild Mare Horse Camp, Horsfall Sand Camping, and Hauser Sand Camping (all reservable). The region is also known for fishing opportunities, with the lake regularly stocked with various fish species including trout and bass. Paddlers should note that nearby sand roads on the North Spit are currently closed until December 2025 due to Army Corps of Engineers work in the area, so plan your route accordingly.
