Elkhorn Lake Recreation Area Access

Elkhorn Lake Recreation Area Access provides free, year-round access to a 54-acre reservoir via Forest Development Road 95 west of Churchville, featuring a primitive boat launch for non-motorized craft (electric motors and paddle only), parking, restrooms, and handicapped-accessible fishing platforms along the southwestern shoreline.

The day-use area offers basic facilities with no fees, though amenities are minimal—no picnic tables, grills, or food concessions—and a National Forest Stamp is required for entry.
