The parking lot is dirt and will accommodate 15-20 cars, but you should scout it before paddling if there has been recent rain. The access ramp is 16 feet wide and projects into the channel at a 12% grade. This ramp has a tendency to collect mud from June through September and may impede boat launching. Call the Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks office in Topeka to request a clean up. A flat-nosed shovel can be used to remove mud from the lower part of the ramp.

An informational kiosk is on site. No restrooms, trash cans, or lighting. The walk to the nearest convenience store is about 1/2 mile.
