About This Access Site
Montgomery State Fishing Lake in Independence, Montgomery County offers multiple launch options for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters with **three dedicated boat ramps** accessible via gravel roads. The site is well-developed for water recreation, featuring two floating fishing docks, a boating courtesy dock, and seven rock fishing piers for anglers. This makes it a versatile access point whether you're launching a kayak for paddling or a motorized boat.

The facility provides basic amenities including vault toilets and several angler campsites, though note that there are **no electric hookups, water, or sewage services** available. Paddlers should plan accordingly and bring their own water and supplies. The lake setting offers a calm water environment suitable for recreational paddling and fishing, with convenient shore access options for those who prefer to fish from piers rather than from their vessels.
