Lake Vermillion Recreation Area offers dual boat ramps at the East Campground providing access to East Vermillion Lake, located approximately 27 miles west of Sioux Falls near Canistota.

The ramps can experience heavy weekend traffic, particularly from motorboats and ski boats on the main lake, though the western arm offers quieter paddling opportunities.

Amenities include a large parking lot, nearby campground facilities with electrical hookups, showers, and playground access.
