Smith Reservoir SWA Access provides public entry to a 278-acre state wildlife area with two boat ramps on the southwest shore accommodating both motorized and non-motorized vessels.

The area offers vault toilets, three primitive dispersed camping sites, and parking areas, though vehicle access is restricted to 50 feet from the water.

A valid Colorado hunting/fishing license or SWA pass is required for visitors 16 and older, and note that north and east shores are closed February 15–July 15.
