State Forest State Park provides access to North Michigan Reservoir with two boat ramps located on the north side off Highway 41, accommodating wakeless boating and fishing.

The park requires a daily vehicle pass ($12) and an aquatic nuisance species (ANS) stamp for boating, with mandatory pre-launch boat inspections available at the ramps.

Additional amenities include floating fishing docks, an accessible fishing pier at Ranger Lakes, and nearby campgrounds with various site types.
