Vernonia Lake City Park

Vernonia Lake City Park offers a convenient public access point to this 32-acre lake in Columbia County. The park features a concrete boat ramp (approximately 16 feet wide) suitable for launching small to medium-sized kayaks, canoes, and other non-motorized watercraft. A gravel ramp is also available near the parking lot for smaller boats. **Note: Gas-powered motors are prohibited on this lake**, making it an ideal destination for paddlers seeking a quieter water experience.

The park is well-developed with amenities including ADA-accessible fishing docks and restrooms, a primitive camping area with fire pits and drinking water, and a children's playground. The lake is stocked with fish throughout spring, attracting both anglers and recreational paddlers. The user-friendly, calm water conditions and accessible facilities make this a good option for families, beginners, and paddlers of varying abilities.
