Kirch WMA Access provides multiple boat ramps (three developed ramps with docks and four primitive ramps) for accessing five reservoirs including Hay Meadow Reservoir, with flat-wake speed restrictions (5 nautical mph max) in effect year-round.

The nearby Dave Deacon Campground offers free camping with potable water, vault toilets, and picnic tables, located about 7 miles from Highway 318 via maintained gravel road.

Seasonal closures prohibit vessel use and trespassing in upper reservoir portions from February 15 through August 15 to protect nesting waterfowl.
