Otter Slough Conservation Area offers boat access via a concrete boat ramp at the headquarters on Otter Slough Lake, with best access by boat when water levels are adequate.

The 4,859-acre area permits fishing and canoeing, with camping available at designated locations (14-day limit per 30-day period) and a self-guided nature trail for exploration.

Visitors should note that motors over 10 horsepower must operate at no-wake speed, and all hunters must register at headquarters before use.
