Lake Eureka is a 27-acre impoundment in Woodford County with a maximum depth of 14 feet, offering a calm water paddling destination for kayakers and canoeists. The site features a single-lane concrete boat ramp on the south end near a swimming beach, with public restrooms and facilities available. A handicap-accessible dock is located on the north shore adjacent to a public shelter house. **Note: All boat access requires a permit from the City of Eureka, and only electric motors are permitted on the lake.** Boating is allowed from sunrise to sunset only.
The shoreline is accessible for exploration, making this a suitable spot for recreational paddling. Given the lake's modest size and protected water conditions, this access point is well-suited for beginners and families. Paddlers should confirm permit requirements and any current water level conditions with the City of Eureka before visiting, as the lake has historically experienced draw-downs for maintenance purposes.
