Water Recreation
Governor Nelson State Park
Swimming
Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend the 500-foot sand beach will be marked with buoys for swimming. No lifeguards are on duty. No boats, sailboards or personal watercraft are allowed within the marked swim area and boaters must go slow-no-wake, within 100 feet of the swim buoys.
From mid-May through September, flush toilets are available at the beach and boat landing. October through mid-May, flush toilets are available at the boat landing. A pit toilet is available year-round in the Wakanda area.
Boating, canoeing and kayaking
The park has a four-stall boat launch.
