I'm not aware of any noise issues. The ramp at Eagle Creek is the best in my opinion. There are a number of campgrounds around the lake that have ramps that will work for boats under 30'. Eagle Creek Resort, www.eaglecreekresort.com, has nice docks, a restaurant and lounge that we really enjoy. Lake Shelbyville also has it's own party cove if you like that sort of thing. There's a lake map at www.lakeshelbyville.com.

Eagle Creek Ramp has a sharp degree of dropoff at the top. Our 38's trailer scrapes. The one at Whitley is better for a long trailer

Pekin is going to be the best site to launch a 38 PQ. There is only one SMALL boat ramp on Wesley Road in Bartonville. It is no where near sufficient, plus it's not a very nice environment. I wouldn't leave my rig parked there, not sure you could even launch it anyway... You might make a call down to Havanna. I haven't been there in a long time. There ramp might be better... |
Is the public ramps next to Eastport too short for a 38' ? I launch my 32' there all the time. My friend puts his Apache in at Detweiller. Could be an option if you don't want to lock through at Pekin.
