Hazlet State Park Boat Ramp

Hazlet State Park Boat Ramp is located in Carlyle Lake, which is the largest man-made lake in Illinois. It is a concrete boat ramp that provides easy access to the water for recreational boaters. The ramp is 30 feet wide and is suitable for launching a variety of watercraft, including small fishing boats, pontoons, and speedboats.

According to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Hazlet State Park Boat Ramp provides access to Carlyle Lake, which covers over 26,000 acres and has a shoreline of 85 miles. The lake is popular among boaters, anglers, and water sports enthusiasts and is known for its excellent fishing opportunities, particularly for catfish, crappie, and bass.

The park allows all types of boats with the exception of personal watercraft (PWC) or jet skis. The park also has a fishing dock near the boat ramp for those who prefer to fish from the shore. There is a daily launch fee for using the boat ramp, which can be paid at the self-registration station located at the boat ramp.
