Where should I park for Hemenway Harbor?

When is Hemenway Harbor open?
Marina, launch, concession and fuel operations keep separate hours from the 24-hour national recreation area.
Are there restrooms near Hemenway Harbor?
Restrooms and water are available at the visitor center, developed campgrounds, marinas and selected beach areas. Shoreline facilities move as lake levels change, and remote coves have none.

A seven-day pass costs $25 per private vehicle, $20 per motorcycle or $15 per person entering without a vehicle. The park is cashless; camping, vessels and concessions cost separately.
How accessible is Hemenway Harbor?
The visitor center and developed overlooks are accessible. Changing lake levels can create long, uneven or muddy approaches at Boulder Beach even where movable accessible parking and toilets are provided.
Are dogs allowed at Hemenway Harbor?
Leashed pets are allowed in many developed and outdoor areas but not in every building or restricted shoreline. Desert heat and sharp surfaces can become fatal quickly.
Is Hemenway Harbor good for children?
