Henningsen Lotus Park offers a boat launch facility on the South Fork American River suitable for rafts and kayaks, with day-use amenities including restrooms, picnic areas, and a 0. 4-mile paved walking loop.

The park charges $10 per vehicle for day-use parking and is open daily from 6 AM until dusk; note that the river current can be swift with rapids, making it suitable for skilled paddlers depending on water conditions.

Additional facilities include sports fields, playgrounds, and access to the Gam Saan Trail connecting to Marshall Gold Discovery State Park.
