Lake Murray SC question
I recently moved to the area (Lexington/378 side). Where are the best boat ramps located? I have a couple small marinas nearby and the public ramp is down a back-road but seems to be mostly bass boats. I'll know for sure in a couple weeks but plan on putting a 28' boat in. Is the dam the best location? What hazards are at the ramps? The last thing I need to do is something stupid and end up as a thread on OSO!
Thanks!
Thanks!

PM board member Jan and ask him. He can tell you the best ramps on the Lexington side to launch from. I could tell you on the Chapin/Irmo/Newberry side but I haven't launched anything on the Lexington side in awhile.
The dam may be OK during the week but that place is a zoo loaded with weekend wally's on the weekends and the summer.
Welcome to the neighborhood

Re: Lake Murray SC question
Thanks for the welcome and input! I had a feeling the dam area was overloaded. I'm hoping to put in on the Lexington side as seems it takes longer to get around the lake versus riding in a boat across.....

Re: Lake Murray SC question
GQ, welcome to Lexington. I live off of 378 down Wise Ferry Rd (about 2miles from Ben Satcher Ford). The Best Landing is Koon Landing down Shore road. It has 2 wide ramps and deep water. The problem is if you get there past 11:00 am on Sat. mornings parking gets rare. The same can be said of Light House Marina on the Irmo side, just not enough parking.
Give me a call at work and I can answer any questions about the area.

Re: Lake Murray SC question
Nice looking boat Phantom. Can't wait to see it in person and hope to make the poker run. We'll see how the work schedule goes...
Jan --- I'll try to give you a call this week. I'm just a couple miles further out. Thanks for the info on ramps. Looks like I'll just have to get up early on Saturdays!

Welcome to the neighborhood, I live downtown @ school during the cold months, and Myrtle Beach in the summers. Where is Cat? I can't believe she hasn't chimed in yet to welcome you...I'm sure if she sees this message in the AM she will fill you in on all the happenings. There is a pretty good crowd from Lake Murray on here.
