Beach
The beach change house has four handicap parking spaces with paved pathways to both the upper and lower levels. The upper level contains vending machines and provides a shady place to sit and relax, overlooking the beach. The restrooms have side-transfer toilets, lever-handled faucets and electric hand dryers. Railed steps lead from the upper level to the lower level, where the change rooms are located. Again, there are side-transfer toilets and lever-handled faucets with plenty of maneuvering room. Roll-in showers with hi/lo showerheads are also available. Paved pathways lead past an accessible water fountain to the large sand beach.

The dump station, located adjacent to the showerhouse, is level and without curbs.
Agate Lake Boat Ramp

The courtesy dock provides a railed ramp and a space for boat access. The picnic site is paved with an extended-end table and pedestal grill, shaded by an old cottonwood overlooking the lake. The boat ramp is accessed via the parking lot, where staging also takes place. The single-lane ramp is paved to normal pool and is an average 10% slope.
