Badger Lake Public Water Access Site offers a basic earth ramp on the south shore near Erskine with a dock for loading and unloading, managed by Polk County with no launch fees.

The site accommodates small watercraft, though boaters should exercise caution in the lake's shallow areas (maximum depth 19 feet) to avoid grounding.

No restrooms or camping facilities are available at the access point, but nearby Erskine offers lodging options for visitors.
