Ward Lake Access features a single concrete boat ramp managed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, with one parking lot and an ADA-accessible restroom available on the east side of the lake.

The facility operates seasonally from the fourth Saturday in April through September 30 and offers good shoreline access for bank fishing, though there are no hand launches, boarding floats, or fishing platforms.

Kayaking and canoeing are suitable on the lake's calm waters, and informal shoreline trails permit hiking around the perimeter.
