It’s an easy ramp to use, parking can be a bitch when things fill up. This is especially true when people block access to the dirt parking lot down the road from the paved parking spots.

Used it in the past with no problems. If ICan he weather turns ugly, it can get breezy and then the chop comes up. Other than that, usually pretty quiet.

If you have a large boat 4x4 may be necessary as it’s a steep ramp and the ramp ends and drops off quick.

I suggest the west side ramp for larger boats.
And as suggested, don't let the trailer drop off the concrete ramp.

Yep used it all the time as our house was just below the dam.

A bit steep but it’s a good modern ramp. Parking can be real tight, we got locked in once by another truck and trailer. Ramp is grooved but can be a bit slippery, so 4x4 would be a plus if not required. The last time there the dock had no rub rail so if you have to tie off take some good bumpers. Like others have said, if heavy winds are directly down lake expect waves onto the ramp as it is exposed to the north.
