Best of Eleven Mile
The Reservoir
The park's main attraction, the 3,400-surface-acre reservoir welcomes boating, sailing and fishing.
Windsurfing
The park offers tremendous windsurfing opportunities all summer long. Visitors participating in this sport need to understand that the winds here can make sailboarding a challenge even for the most experienced of sailboarders.
Picnicking
Eleven Mile State Park offers 15 picnic sites. Some are located close to shoreline fishing access areas, while others are found near the playground. A universal access picnic site is also located adjacent to the playground.
Camping
Eleven Mile State Park has 326 campsites in nine separate campgrounds located around the lake. From basic and walk-in sites to electric or lakeshore sites, there is something for every camping style.
