Orlando Area-Butler Chain of Lakes
Anyone familiar with these lakes? Is there public ramps? Is it worth putting in and are there any boat size limitations?
Thinking of dropping in over the weekend instead of the Glen.

There's only two public ramps available.
One is off of Conroy Road but I don't know how/if it has passible connection to the rest of the chain. Also there's no parking, you have to drive about 1/8 mile down the road to a dirt lot and walk back.
The other is Keene Park in the Isleworth section on Chase Road and costs 5.00 to use the ramp and that's if there's parking available. They stop all use when the parking lot fills, which it does real quick so you have to be there before 9:30 am and it closes (gate locks) at dusk.
Last time I was out there (summer '00) the canal between Lake Luise and Lake Butler was so shallow I had to get out and push the boat thru.
The ramp at Keene Park was closed most of last year due to low water levels.
