Very nice. The place is huge with plenty of parking. It needs to be maintained better though. Three lane ramp & a huge dock.

Awesome place! Get there early in the morning if you want to enjoy kayaking without motor boat noises. You need to park up the hill which is not convenient but it makes sense. Park rangers come here often to maintain order at the ramp. We have seen lots of waterfowl and turtles! So beautiful.

Alecia D. Moss

Its really pretty. Even has a little dock to fish off of. To the right through the trees is a nice little sandy beach u could sun bath at, fish, whatever. But really, it's just a boat ramp.😁
