Guernsey Reservoir is a designated state park that offers miles of shoreline for paddling. The Sandy Beach boat ramp is one of four boat ramps available on the lake. The launch is located on the southeast side of the lake where paddlers can set out explore the shoreline of open waters and many side coves along the way. Paddlers may have to cross areas of open waters so paying attention to other boats on the lake as well as rough waters is important. The state park also offers other recreational activities to include camping, picnicing, hiking, swimming, and fishing.
