About This Access Site
Roy Lake State Park's East access point offers a well-developed boat ramp facility for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats onto Roy Lake. The ramp provides direct water access along with convenient amenities including vault toilets, a picnic area, and waterfront campsites. Two bathhouses are available during the main season (note: these may have limited hours from October through April, so call ahead if visiting in shoulder seasons).

The park is well-equipped for water recreation beyond launching, with a fishing dock, sandy beaches, and an island trail for exploration. The site accommodates both day-use visitors and overnight campers, with two full campgrounds offering electrical sites, camping cabins, and modern comfort stations with showers and flush toilets. A dump station and fish-cleaning facilities are also available, making this a complete water access destination for extended outings.
