Platte Creek Recreation Area offers a concrete, ADA-accessible boat ramp for launching onto Lake Francis Case, with adjacent parking, a fish cleaning station, and shore fishing access.

The facility is part of a 252-acre recreation area managed by South Dakota Game, Fish, and Parks, featuring day-use amenities including picnic areas, a swim beach, and a playground, with a $10-$15 daily entrance fee.

A remote camera allows visitors to check dock and water conditions before arrival, and the quieter setting makes it a good alternative to busier nearby recreation areas.
