The Buffalo Lake boat ramp in Dovray, Murray County offers a public launch facility for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats accessing this 1,552-acre lake. The ramp is paved and trailer-accessible, with a dock and a large parking area to accommodate multiple vehicles. This makes it a convenient starting point for paddlers looking to explore the lake's expansive waters.
Buffalo Lake features a maximum depth of 33 feet and is known as a wind-swept body of water with dark water and numerous offshore bars. Paddlers should be prepared for potentially breezy conditions and plan accordingly. The lake supports a healthy population of bluegill and crappie, making it popular with anglers. A nearby nearly two-mile walking and bike trail runs along the lake's shoreline, and equipment rentals including kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards are available at adjacent parks if you need gear.
