Dam Access

Dam Access provides a boat ramp and parking area at the south end of Lake Vermillion near 262nd Street, offering convenient launch access for boaters and anglers.

The spillway area below the dam is popular with fishermen and can be productive for wildlife viewing, particularly during spring migration when waterfowl and other birds congregate around the open water.

A small parking lot at the top of the spillway provides views of the lake, and a nearby cattail marsh offers additional exploration opportunities for paddlers and nature enthusiasts.
