About This Access Site
East Arbutus Park is a public boat ramp facility located on Lake Arbutus in Hatfield, providing convenient access to this 163-acre lake. The ramp is situated near the dam and serves as a primary launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The park itself is well-developed with 187 campsites (136 with electricity), making it ideal for overnight trips or day-use access.

Lake Arbutus offers diverse recreational opportunities with a maximum depth of 28 feet and populations of panfish, largemouth bass, and walleye. Beyond paddling, the lake supports water-skiing, swimming, and fishing. For boaters needing additional services, the nearby Arbutus Marina offers boat rentals, fuel docks, and additional launch access. Those interested in river paddling can explore upstream sections of the Black River, though paddlers should note that the upper Black River has limited rapids and is best suited for more leisurely paddles. Check ahead for any day-use fees and current facility conditions.
