Palisades State Park Access provides entry to Split Rock Creek for paddling and fishing, with multiple put-in locations along the east side of the park and a historic 1908 iron truss bridge offering scenic views from the water.

The park features a day-use parking area, campground with 111 campsites (including electrical hookups), and a new dump station added in 2024.

Paddlers should exercise caution near cliffs and rock shelves for falling rocks and swirling eddies, while anglers can fish year-round with fly fishing, shore fishing, and kayak/canoe options available.
