Lakeview marina has a nice ramp. $10 to launch but it's probably the best ramp besides community ramps like Walden.

We use April Plaza. The parking lot can get a little crowded if there is a fishing tournament but we still seem to always find a spot. The ramp has a nice gradual slope and is easy to use. $10 to launch.

I've had mixed results with Lakeview. A couple of times, they wanted to charge me $30 to launch ($10 per axle) and another time they told me I couldn't park there because I had a triple axle trailer. On the other hand, I know lots of people with big boats that use their ramp.

Inland Marina has a ramp too with decent parking. The ramp is just way too steep for my taste. $10 to launch.

All of these ramps are off of Hwy 105.

I agree. They are sometimes a$$es at Lakeview if your trailer is too long they try to charge you more. Both Lakeview and April Plaza have tight parking lots if you're over 35'. Inland has great parking but like Busta said the ramp is a little drastic for my taste. Not impossible, but a little steep.

Go to April Plaza if you want the easiest outing... good ramp, calm water and 3 lanes. Lakeview is ok but when the lake gets chopped up (which is any time after sunrise) it can be a mess using that ramp. Parking is about the same anywhere you go if you are later in the day.

I don't think they have a boat ramp, do they? I thought they only had slips.

April Plaza has to be the best. Never had a problem with parking.... even when they hold tournaments. They will find a place for you. Nice ramp and decent docks. Nice location on the lake.... come into main body of lake and stay straight for the island or to the right for dam (and Papa's, etc.) or left to bridge and beyond. Inland has best parking but ramp is steeper and then you never know at Lakeview.... not to mention the concrete walls of the ramp are unforgiving when windy and choppy which is common for that part of the lake.
