The Marina at Eagle Creek

THE MARINA at Eagle Creek Park

The Marina is one of the most iconic places at Eagle Creek Park. Situated in the middle of the eastern shore of the reservoir on a peninsula, visitors can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the park.

On a gorgeous day at the park, you may see fellow visitors kayaking, picnicking, fishing, bird watching, and more from the Marina.

Additionally, there is an event space available for rent called the Marina Overlook. Details can be found here >

There are two public launches for kayaks. Information about kayaking and kayak rentals can be found below. 

Amenities & Activities at the Marina

Watersports

Bring your Kayak, Paddleboard, or Canoe

Visitors are welcome to bring their own watercraft, as the marina is an excellent place to launch. There is a public launch near the parking lot as well as next to Eagle Creek Outfitters. Each person is required to wear a personal floatation device (PFD) that fits appropriately.

There is a $3 fee for each outside watercraft brought into the park (fee information here). An annual pass for watercraft can also be purchased through Indy Parks at the gatehouse or Park Office.

Make a day of it

Eagle Creek Park and Rick’s go together like summer and corn on the cob. If you’re planning to visit the Park, consider a Foundation Pass. It grants unlimited gate entry for the Park and is the easiest way to give back!

A CAFE ON THE RESERVOIR

Rick’s Cafe Boatyard is located on the waterfront of Eagle Creek reservoir. Though it’s on the same body of water as Eagle Creek Park, it is located at the south end of the reservoir and is not directly associated with Eagle Creek Park. It features fresh seafood, prime steaks, and craft cocktails.

Rick’s is an iconic place to eat after a long day of boating, fishing, biking, hiking, or exploring at Eagle Creek Park. The outdoor seating area offers spectacular views of the reservoir and dense Hoosier forest in the surrounding area.

Because Rick’s is a popular spot, you may want to call ahead or reserve a table. Groups may also host private events at Rick’s.
