About This Access Site
Walker Lake State Recreation Area - 2 provides a public boat ramp access point on Walker Lake in Mineral County, Nevada. This facility is suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats onto the desert lake. The access area features paved surfaces and is conveniently located near Sportsman's Beach, which offers camping facilities and additional amenities including picnic tables, grills, and vault toilets for day-use visitors.

Walker Lake is a large, scenic desert lake surrounded by mountain views, making it popular for both paddling and fishing. Paddlers should note that the area has no potable water available on-site, so bring adequate supplies. The lake offers relatively calm, open-water conditions suitable for various water sports. Fees are minimal ($6/night for camping), paid at the fee drop box located at the beach area. This is an excellent access point for those looking to explore Walker Lake's expansive waters in a relatively undeveloped, natural setting.
