Ramp condition and docks: There is a double wide ramp with a good slope. There is a dock next to the ramp and additional docking off a float.

There are trees that ovehang the left side of the ramp. If you have a mast up, it is better to stick to the right side.

Parking and Fee: There is no security but boaters do use the lot for over night parking. If you park there over night or leave your trailer there, take an envelop from the box by the ramp and fill it out and put money in it. The charge is $5.00 per calendar day.    (Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday though less than 48 hours is 3 days).

You will have no problem rigging and launching Friday night. It's a good ramp with a dock, however if you wait to Saturday, you may have a parking problem as a lot of fishermen use the ramp. They usually return by 10 AM which will free up parking spaces if you are a late arrival.

There is some room to anchor near the ramp but the water is a little thin, so raise your centerboards and watch the current.

Amenities: There are Chemical toilets and a water faucet.
