Boater Reviews
always a clean ramp and safe parking use this ramp 2-4 times per week
It’s an ok ramp docking is awful will tear up your stuff if not careful . Parking of course is limited
Quiet out of the way boat ramp. Just a dock, ramp and parking lot. No amenities
Good boat landing, deep and fairly easy to navigate on the boat. The parking situation can be challenging depending on how busy. I have never been where there are not cars parked in trailer spots, and I have also never been where someone is not being a jackass to others. That is the biggest downside to this particular landing.
This is the best deepest boat launch on the south side of the lake. Minimal stumps around the launch area compared to the other two launches. This is where I'll be launching my boat going forward. Medium amount of parking and didn't see any bathrooms. Nice long dock with a narrow space to get your boat turned around and heading the right direction.
