Boat Ramps

Two ramps serve the reservoir, both are on the north side at North Shore. Boat inspections for aquatic nuisance species are required for all trailered vessels, or any vessel with a motor or sail, each time the vessel is launched on or removed from the lake.

Eleven Mile Reservoir opens to boating annually after ice-off in the spring and remains open through October 31.

From November 1st to ice-on, and from ice-off to boat ramp opening, Eleven Mile State Park will allow only vessels that are hand-launched and human-powered.

Campgrounds

Eleven Mile State Park has 325 campsites in nine separate campgrounds scattered around the lake. From basic and walk-in sites to electric or lakeshore sites, there is something for every camping style.

  • Eleven Mile State Park has 52 electric sites with 30 amp service located in Rocky Ridge Loops A, B, and D.
  • There are no electrical sites by the water (North Shore, Witchers Cove, Stoll Mountain, Howbert Point, Lazy Boy, Rocking Chair, Cross Creek).
  • Sites with some shade will only be found in the Backcountry Campground or Rocky Ridge Campground C or E Loops, as those are the only areas with any trees. Not every site in those loops has trees.

  • Water is available in the Park from May 1st through September 30th at 3:00 p.m. for Campers that have a valid reservation and vehicle pass and are camping in our park.
