About This Access Site
Located on the east side of Lake Sarah off Highway 59 in Garvin, Murray County, this well-maintained public access point offers a convenient launch for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The site features a boat ramp and dock, making it suitable for various watercraft. The 9.5-acre park is first-come, first-served with no reservations required and includes amenities such as restroom facilities, picnic shelter, playground, grills, and a sandy beach swimming area. A handicap-accessible fishing pier is also available.

Sarah Lake is a 1,209-acre water body with a maximum depth of 10 feet, making it relatively shallow and suitable for recreational paddling. The lake is well-regarded for fishing (particularly walleye) and is situated in scenic Southwest Minnesota. Paddlers can expect calm, sheltered conditions typical of this shallow glacial lake. The east access point provides good facilities for launching and spending time on shore.
