Ashland State Park Boat Launch offers a beautiful lake setting with a varied terrain hiking trail around a reservoir, popular for walking, swimming, boating, and fishing. It features a free parking lot near the boat ramp and town beach, although parking can fill up or get tight at times, especially for vehicles with boat trailers. The area sees lots of dogs and people, particularly during busy times. Facilities like Porta Potties are available nearby at the town beach, and the spot is appreciated for its natural beauty and recreational opportunities.

I love the lake and that they have a BOAT RAMP, if you were allowed to use it as a BOAT RAMP. Seems this is considered a dog park…nothing against dogs, I love them. it’s the idiot owners that won’t park in the main lot instead of clogging up the BOAT RAMP

Great place to go fishing or launch a boat. Can be a challenge to park as parking is limited and not designated. Very easy to get blocked in when parking in the middle. Also some issues with people going here to swim instead of the beach but over all a great spot. Lots of fish to catch.

Decent size parking lot for just vehicles. Parking for vehicles with boat trailers can get tight at times.
As a spot to park and hike the reservoir trail around it. It would be nice to have a Porta Potty for the people who park here to begin their activity. However, the town beach has Porta Potty’s there. If you can go the distance.

Ashland State Park is a great place to go for a walk, swim, boat ride, or fish. This parking lot is free and the lot can and does fill up quickly, more parking should be added in this lot if possible.

The hike around the reservoir is about 3 miles although by hiking right alongside the water this may make it a bit longer. There are lots of dogs and people on the trails especially during popular times.

Beautiful Lake and a very nice hiking trail around it. Varied terrain and elevation with areas of tree roots but a fairly easy walk. Parking is free at the boat ramp parking lot opposite end of the lake from the dam
