Memorial Park Public Water Access

Memorial Park offers a well-developed public boat ramp and dock facility on the northwest shore of Lake Kampeska, one of South Dakota's larger lakes at approximately 5,250 acres. The park is a full-service county facility with an on-site manager, making it a reliable access point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The ramp and dock setup makes launching and retrieving boats straightforward, even for paddlers managing their own gear.

Beyond the water access, Memorial Park provides extensive amenities that make it convenient for day trips or extended visits. The 90+ acre facility includes 106 campsites with varying hookup options, a large picnic area with playground, a zoned swimming beach, and hiking trails. Lake Kampeska's multiple access points around its shoreline offer flexibility for exploring different areas of the water. Advance reservations are available by phone, and the park accepts credit card payments, making planning ahead easy.
