**Location & Access:** The main boat ramp at Ute Lake State Park is located two miles west of Logan in Quay County, New Mexico. The park entrance gate operates 24 hours daily. The access point sits at an elevation of 3,762 feet along one of New Mexico's longest reservoirs on the Canadian River.
**Paddling & Boating Opportunities:** Ute Lake stretches nearly 13 miles, offering excellent paddling conditions for kayakers and canoeists. The Canadian River arm is particularly popular for fall kayaking trips when water temperatures remain warmer and motorized traffic decreases. While the lake accommodates all water sports including motorized boating, water skiing, and jet skiing, paddlers will find quieter conditions during off-peak seasons. The scenic rocky canyon setting provides a picturesque backdrop for exploration.
**Facilities & Recreation:** The park offers camping, day-use facilities, and fishing opportunities alongside paddling. Additional recreation includes swimming, hiking, and birding. Reservations are available through the New Mexico State Parks reservation website for those planning overnight stays. Contact the Park Superintendent's Office at 1800 540 Loop, Logan, NM 88426 for specific information about boat dock amenities.
