Rachel Holbert Jones

This was another boat ramp we will definitely return to. Ample parking for our boat trailer.

Randy Herrmann

They should have angled the parking spots to make it easier to park. Parking area is just a bit too small to maneuver if spots are getting full. Nice dock. Convenient location. Will still return.

Angel “CIRKUSGIRL” West

The area is quite and secluded. It has one ramp and a long dock. It also has parking for vehicles with trailers. Kinda a small landing.

Beau Perry

Pretty nice boat ramp. Lot of good fishing to the left of it.

Katie Poterala

Can be a little low at times, and there's a shallow area right off the ramp that you must avoid.
