Lions Park, located on the southeast end of Howard Lake, is the most popular of three public access points and features a concrete boat ramp, swimming beach, fishing pier, picnic pavilion, and public restrooms.

The park offers a handicapped-accessible beach and playground equipment, making it a well-developed facility for both boaters and anglers. Note that Howard Lake contains Eurasian watermilfoil, so watercraft must be cleaned and drained before and after use.
