Where to launch at Minersville

Minersville Lake Park ramp – a concrete ramp managed by Beaver County just off Highway 21, with boat docks and short-term or overnight slips.
County campground – 29 sites with electric hookups, restrooms with showers and an RV dump station.
BLM shoreline – much of the shore is public BLM land, with room to spread out away from the park.

Like most Utah reservoirs, Minersville rises and falls with snowpack and irrigation demand, so conditions change through the summer. With Lake Boat Rental, your boat or jet ski is ready at the lake — no towing required.

Tips for a great day on Minersville

Ride early. Afternoon wind sweeps across the open desert and can roughen the water fast.
Bring shade. There are few trees along the shore, so pack a canopy, umbrellas and plenty of water.
Check the water level. Late-summer drawdowns can uncover shallows and rocks near shore.
Stock up in Beaver. Grab fuel, ice and groceries in town before heading out to the lake.
Go midweek. Weekdays often feel like you have the whole reservoir to yourself.
Stay for sunset. Evening light on the desert hills is the best part of the day.
