Boat LaunchNot a concrete ramp, but large fiberglass boats can be launched from ramp area.
There is a boat launch marked on the site map on the south side of the lake and is perfect for boats 17 feet and smaller. PWF staff launches their 16 foot alumnacraft with 50 HP motor from this launch. The launch is steep, but doable; just back in slowly. On the opposite of the lake across the dam, larger fiberglass boats have been launched, approx 50 feet west of the NE corner of the dam. This is not an improved ramp, and if you are bringing your brand new 21 foot $60k fiberglass boat you may want to pass on using it at this lake. However, dozens of large fiberglass boats have used this area to launch with great success. As with all our lakes that do not have concrete ramps 4 wheel drive is recommended when launching heavy boats.
There is a jon boat with bench seating available for members to use.
MANDATORY!!! Remove all bass 16" and under and all crappie at this site. Report the total number of each species removed back to the club office through the online reservation system after your outing.
