About This Access Site
Lake Storey in Galesburg offers convenient access to a medium-sized recreational lake with 5.8 miles of shoreline. The east boat ramp is well-developed with a dedicated parking lot and easy pedestrian access—sidewalks lead directly from the parking area down to the launch point. The lake spans 1.5 miles east to west, providing a manageable paddling area for kayakers and canoeists of varying experience levels.

This access site includes amenities beyond basic launching facilities. Modern shower and locker room facilities are available, and a sandy beach with retaining wall creates a pleasant setting for water recreation. For boaters seeking additional options, a second boat ramp and parking lot are located on the opposite (west) end of the lake. Lake Storey Park offers year-round access and is suitable for families and recreational paddlers looking for a calm water environment.
