Boater Reviews
Wondering why an empty boat trailer has been left in the overflow parking lot?? This supposed to be for people coming to enjoy a day at the lake not for someone launching their boat and leaving their trailer parked and left abandoned??? The over flow parking for people to enjoy the lake at the new boat ramp is getting ridiculous!! More building, which is going to create a congested parking area, where are extra places to park going to be??? Now you have people using the overflow parking lot to store their boats and trailers. Who is going to police this area???? Where is the County Engineer that is supposed to be checking the building going on at the boat ramp. Yesterday’s storm came through and took down a big section of what they are trying to build and charge people over 300 thousand dollars for???? Before you buy, you better have a certified building inspector check them out?? With all the building they are going to need another over flow parking area for boaters, owners and people storing their trailers???
A very nice public ramp, they are a little narrow but easy to launch from if you can back a boat. Lots of parking and some great food on the same property.
Very nice and clean place. The ramps are roomy with large docks and plenty of parking lot pavement available for you to line up straight with the ramp so launch/recovery is quick and easy. Plenty of marked parking spaces but they are tight.
Very awesome,, loved the ramps, picnic tables with top and water entrance thank you very much
