Located just west of Amherst Junction in Portage County, Lake Emily Park offers convenient water access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The park features a paved boat ramp and trailer dump station, making it easy to launch and retrieve your vessel. Lake Emily is a 108-acre lake with a maximum depth of 35 feet, providing adequate water depth for most recreational watercraft throughout the paddling season.
This 143-acre park is well-equipped for a full day of water recreation and picnicking. Beyond the boat ramp, amenities include a swimming beach, picnic areas with two lodges, showers, a nature trail for exploring when you're off the water, and fishing access. The lake supports a healthy fishery including panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike, trout, and walleye, so it's a popular destination for mixed-use recreation. Whether you're planning a paddle, motorboat outing, or a family day out, Lake Emily Park provides solid infrastructure and facilities.
