About This Access Site
The East Sutherland I-80 Lake boat ramp provides convenient access to Sutherland Reservoir, a 3,000-acre water body located just off I-80 near Sutherland in Lincoln County. The ramp is 16 feet wide with a gradual slope, making it suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, motorized boats, and sailboats. Multiple boat ramps and docks are available at the reservoir, and the site operates on a first-come, first-served basis.

This location is ideal for paddlers seeking a quick getaway close to the interstate. Camping options range from primitive sites on the east and west shores to developed facilities with electrical hookups on the north shore. The reservoir supports fishing, waterfowl activity, and general recreation. Plan to arrive early during warmer months to secure a launch spot, and note that pets are welcome if leashed.
