Ashurst Lake offers a boat launch on the west side accessible via paved and graveled roads (19 miles south of Flagstaff on Lake Mary Road, then 4 miles east on Forest Road 82E).

Motorized boats are limited to 10 horsepower single engines, and the lake is open seasonally (early May through mid-October) with restrooms, potable water, and picnic tables available at nearby campgrounds.

Note that winter road closures prevent vehicle access during snow season.
