Boater Reviews
This is my go to boat ramp on Lake Keowee. If you don't have a parking pass, it does cost $5 / day to launch / load and park your vehicle and boat trailer. There are two lanes with a fixed and floating dock between the lanes. Enough length to launch and tie up without blocking others. I launch and load solo, so good ramps, plenty of cleats on the dock, and an easy walk to park are very important to me. Having restrooms and trash receptacles there is also very convenient. The area is fairly well protected from northerly winds, but southerly winds and boaters blasting by outside the no wake zone can make things a bit challenging at times.
