The Alcova Marina boat ramp provides excellent access to Alcova Reservoir, a 2,470-acre impoundment on the North Platte River located about 30 miles from Casper, Wyoming. This is one of eight boat ramps serving the reservoir and offers convenient facilities for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The on-site Alcova Resort marina offers equipment rentals including kayaks, paddleboards, and motorized vessels, making it an ideal destination for paddlers of all experience levels.

The reservoir is known for excellent recreational opportunities, including fishing and scenic water exploration. The area features multiple campgrounds nearby—both reservable and first-come, first-served options—along with additional amenities such as a playground, beach volleyball area, and the Dinosaur Interpretive Trail. Pete's Draw Campground is located within 10 miles for those seeking overnight accommodations.

Whether you're planning a day paddle or multi-day camping trip, the Alcova Marina location provides comprehensive facilities and services to support your water recreation.
