Sandy Beach Road offers a convenient boat launch on Foss Reservoir, located in the southwest corner of the lake in Custer County. The access features a one-lane concrete ramp with an attached dock and gravel parking area, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. This is one of several public access points around the 6,800-acre reservoir, which spans 63 miles of shoreline.
Foss Reservoir provides a large, calm-water paddling environment ideal for kayakers and canoeists seeking a leisurely outing. The lake is well-maintained for water recreation, with the Washita National Wildlife Refuge nearby offering opportunities for wildlife viewing. Paddlers should be aware that this is a multipurpose reservoir, so expect to share the water with motorboats, particularly on weekends. The site is accessible year-round, though water levels may fluctuate seasonally due to the reservoir's role in water supply management for the region.
