Sunset at Boyd Lake State Park


Boyd Lake State Park has something for everyone: boating, fishing, picnicking, swimming, hiking, biking, and hunting. During the summer we have music concerts Saturday afternoons at the Swim Beach Pavilion.

All types of watercraft: ski boats, fishing boats, jet skis, sailboats, canoes, use Boyd Lake's 1,700 surface-acres of water. Boyd also has a sandy beach and a pavilion (including coffee shop) for swimmers. Boyd also has a modern campground with 148 paved pull-through sites.

The water temperature is currently below freezing (32 degrees or below). The depth is currently 52.1 feet in the center. Currently all boat ramps are closed (effective 12/01/09)

When the ANS inspection site is operating and lakes are open to boating, a state-certified pre-inspection seal from Boyd Lake (yellow) or another state-certified entity (green) is MANDATORY in order to launch outside of ANS Inspection hours. Please put the seal and the receipt in the drop box located on the east side of the boat ramp.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our lake mussel-free!

If you need to register your boat please do so at the Visitor Center.
