Beardsley Reservoir Access is located 7 miles from Highway 108 on a steep, winding paved road (Beardsley Road) with average safe speeds of 20-30 mph; the area features a boat ramp (currently closed seasonally to prevent invasive species spread), day-use areas with accessible restrooms, and nearby camping at Beardsley Dam Campground with 16 sites.

Shoreline fishing is available year-round, though road access is subject to winter closure, and visitors should check current conditions with the Tri-Dam Project or Summit Ranger Station before visiting.
