Soda Lake Access provides two primitive boat launch options for accessing Soda Lake: a developed campground launch on the north end with accessible restrooms and picnic facilities, and a day-use only gravel launch on the south end near the dam.

Both launches feature wide gravel/rocky/sandy surfaces suitable for kayaks and motorboats, though deep mud is common and assistance may be needed; note that swimming is prohibited on wildlife refuge lands but permitted on state lands across the lake.
