Return to Purtis Creek fishing page
A boat ramp is provided in Purtis Creek State Park, along with two lighted, wheelchair-accessible fishing piers. A $5/day fee is required to put an object (a boat, tube, float, etc.) on the lake. Due to the small size of the lake, a 50-boat limit is in effect with a wake/speed restriction. Once the 50-boat limit has been reached on the lake, waiting boats may enter as other boats leave. Campsites and bank fishing are also available in the park. For more details, choose a point on the map or a name in the chart below.
