San Luis Reservoir Access provides multiple boat launch points at Dinosaur Point and Basalt areas with improved ramps for accessing the main reservoir, while O'Neill Forebay offers additional launch access via Donohugh Road and Gonzaga Road.

The area features day-use picnic facilities, parking, restrooms, and drinking water, though visitors should be prepared for sudden strong winds and watch for wind warning lights before launching.

Boating hours are sunrise to sunset with varying speed limits throughout the lakes (5 mph on Los Banos Creek Reservoir, 10 mph zones on the main reservoir and forebay).
