Mud/Connors Public Water Access

**Location & Access:** This public boat ramp provides access to Lake Byron, Foster Creek, and Connors Lake (locally known as Mud Lake) near Huron in Beadle County, South Dakota. The ramp is located in the Huron Colony area and is open 24 hours unless otherwise posted. Like most South Dakota public accesses, it accommodates both trailer launches and carry-in access for kayaks and canoes.

**What to Expect:** This is a straightforward public launch suitable for small to medium recreational craft. The area offers paddling opportunities on connected lake and creek systems in the Great Plains region. Paddlers should come prepared for typical prairie water conditions and plan accordingly. The James Diversion Reservoir, located about 17 miles north near Huron, provides an alternative recreation option for the area.

**Planning Your Visit:** Before launching, confirm current conditions as water levels and accessibility can vary seasonally in this region. The site is free and available to the public, making it a convenient access point for local paddling trips and recreational boating.
