Ramp Quirks & Etiquette
The West-Shore Flagship
Two concrete lanes, launch and staging docks, flush restrooms, 49 trailer and 22 vehicle spots, free, 6:30 AM to dusk — Lakeland's showpiece facility on its showpiece lake, with the park's bank-fishing shoreline and picnic grounds behind the lot.
Positioned for the North Half
From here the Crago canal — FWC's flagged big-bass water — is a short run up the northwest shore, and the hourglass hole in the northeast corner is a straight shot across. The lake's best-documented structure is all on this ramp's half.
Family-Grade Everything
Restrooms that flush, docks that stage, a park that entertains the non-fishing contingent: when the trip includes people who came for the picnic, this is the ramp.
