The East Mesa day-use area will have limited access and potential closures Monday-Friday from November 3-14, 2025. The area will be an active construction zone from the parking area to the fishing platform at the shoreline.

 

WiFi is unavailable at the park.

The Roper Lake hot tub is permanently closed.

Swimming

Roper Lake State Park has a designated swimming area with a sandy beach on the west side of the day-use island.  It is a great place to cool off separate from lake boating and fishing. Before you head into the water, here are some tips to help keep you safe:

  • The water temperature can vary from temperate in the shallows to near-freezing in open water. Be aware of the water temperature before entering the water.
  • In all situations, swimmers should exercise caution. There is no lifeguard on duty, so swimming is at your own risk.
  • There is no swimming outside of the designated swimming area.
