South Fork Reservoir offers two boat ramps for water access: the main ramp with ample parking and a non-flush restroom (closed for winter), and a southwest shore ramp accommodating boats up to 15 feet.

The recreation area includes a 25-site campground with full facilities, picnic areas, and an RV dump station available year-round, making it a well-developed access point for boating and water sports 15 miles south of Elko.
