Public access to Inks Lake is available through Inks Lake State Park which borders approximately one-third of the eastern shoreline. A two-lane boat ramp is available at the park along with a lighted fishing pier and plenty of shoreline access. Camping is available at the park, along with many other recreational opportunities. Because of the park’s popularity it is a good idea to make reservations well in advance if you would like to camp there.
