South Fork State Recreation Area offers two boat ramps for accessing South Fork Reservoir, with the main ramp featuring ample parking and a non-flush restroom, while the southwest shore ramp accommodates smaller boats up to 15 feet and is ideal for float tubes.

The area provides 31 improved campsites (some with RV hookups), dispersed camping along the shore, and cabin rentals, plus amenities including flush restrooms, showers, and picnic facilities.

Located just 20 minutes south of Elko off Highway 228, the recreation area is open year-round with a $5 day-use fee and $10 boat launch fee (note: main ramp closed seasonally in winter).
