Boating
Roper Lake State Park invites all watercraft users to enjoy this gorgeous Southern Arizona lake, but we ask that you do so responsibly. That means ensuring that your watercraft meets all of the state's regulations for motorized and non-motorized watercrafts.
Please note, gas motors are not allowed to be operated on the lake.
Please call the park at 928-428-6760 for details about kayak rentals.
BOAT RAMP
Roper Lake State Park has one boat ramp with boat trailer parking located on the east side of the lake. Visitors take E. Roper Lake Road into the park, and then after passing the Ranger Station/Park Store turn east at the turnoff.
