Tarryall Reservoir Access provides boat ramps on the southern end of the reservoir (eastern and western sides) for motorized and non-motorized vessels, with seasonal boating available May-October and hand-launched vessels only on the ramp (closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays).

A valid Colorado hunting/fishing license or SWA pass is required for entry, and the area offers designated fishing docks around the shoreline, primitive camping at nearby Pike National Forest campgrounds, and restroom facilities.
