Badger Creek State Recreation Area offers two hard-surface boat ramps on the east and west sides of the 276-acre lake, with courtesy docks and multiple fishing jetties for anglers.

All vessels must operate at no-wake speeds, and parking is available near the ramps. The day-use only area features vault toilets and picnic facilities, with open daily from 4 a. m. to 10:30 p. m. and free public access.
