Your Safety Is
Our Priority

  With its 525 miles of shoreline and 25,900 surface acres, West Point Lake is a boater's paradise. There are boat launching ramps located in 34 public recreation areas (including 4 leased areas) around the lake. (See Map.) Some ramps charge a $3 boat launch fee. Two privately operated marinas provide fuel, storage, boat repair, rentals, supplies and other boater's needs.

Whether your preference is sailing, wind surfing, or power boating, West Point Lake is the place to be!!!

  • Keep children under close supervision at all times, especially when they are in or near the water.

  • Do not use alcohol while in, on or around the water.
  • File a trip plan with someone to let them know where you will be and when you plan to return.

  • Do not overload your boat. Remember, safe boating is not overloading.
