Multiple boat ramps are available throughout the property, accommodating kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boats. Electric motors are permitted on lakes and ponds. This access point is ideal for paddlers looking to explore the area's 529 acres of lakes and impoundments.
**Important Restrictions & Planning Tips:** Canoeing and kayaking are allowed but may be restricted during waterfowl season—contact the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife office before your visit to confirm current access. Swimming is prohibited. Pit toilet restrooms are available at park headquarters and the Curtis Creek Trout Rearing Station. The nearest gas and convenience supplies are in nearby Mongo, Indiana. Note that there are no paved trails in the wildlife area, so come prepared for natural conditions.
