Pawtuckaway State Park Access provides a boat launch for car-top boats and access to Pawtuckaway Pond via the Main Entrance Hiking/Boat Pass.

Day-use parking reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and holidays, as parking is limited and can fill quickly; reservations can be made up to 30 days in advance.

The park offers canoe and kayak rentals available from the camp store, along with extensive hiking trails and a 600-foot beach for swimming.
