Visitor & Driver Tips
When traveling along US-70 after dusk, reduce speed slightly to spot the turnoff onto E 2040 Rd, as rural highway lighting is minimal. If arriving with a long trailer or extended RV combination, plan your approach to take advantage of wide perimeter turns. Prior to heading out to the lake ramps on high-demand summer and holiday weekends, ensure your gear is loaded and vehicles are staged early to beat launch-ramp queues.
