Lake E. V. Spence offers multiple concrete boat ramps for water access, with three paved ramps available depending on water levels at locations including Wildcat Recreation Area (3 miles west of Robert Lee) and Paint Creek (5 miles west of Robert Lee).

A $5 per vehicle day pass is required to access the recreation areas, with annual passes available at $60.

Note that due to ongoing drought conditions, public boat ramp availability may be limited, so it's recommended to contact the Colorado River Municipal Water District at (432) 267-6341 before visiting.
