The Four Mile Land Use Area provides boat ramp access to Roy Lake, a substantial 2,054-acre water body located near Lake City in Marshall County. This launch point serves as a convenient entry for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the lake's 6 miles of shoreline. The area is well-developed with amenities including sandy beaches, picnic areas, and campgrounds, making it suitable for both day trips and extended visits.
**Important access information:** A park entrance license is required to use the boat ramps at this South Dakota state recreation area. Be sure to obtain your permit before launching. Roy Lake is popular for fishing, but the lake also offers scenic paddling and recreational boating opportunities for those simply looking to enjoy the water and surrounding landscape.
