Boater Reviews
Great, free place to put a boat in at. It's located in a residential area and seems to get a lot of use but definitely isn't the traffic you would see at the area marinas. We went here for a quiet spot to put our kayak in. We're new to kayaking and we wanted a quiet cove where we could practice paddling. This provided just that. It is fairly shallow in the cove so I would suggest only small fishing boats and kayaks go far into the cove. Out to the other side of the boat ramp takes you to the main part of the lake so this is a decent spot for larger boats to put in as well.
Extremely busy. Lacking natural aesthetic with homes dotting the shoreline of the lake. Does offer swimming, grill, and shelter amenities with public restroom.
Nice place to launch a boat or kayak or have a picnic... and it would also be a great place to swim. Today is a Beautiful Day.
Love the ramp. Easy to get in and out but needs more parking in a paved road going in
Good calm area. Great place for kayaks. Good place to put a boat in but the ramp is really jacked up. Be nice if they would use some of our tax money to fix the potholes in the ramp. Love the area though. Update as of December 2024 looks like they are redoing the ramp
