Scout's Notes
Ramp Quirks & Etiquette
Quick In-and-Out
Reviewers consistently praise how fast and easy launching is here. Two lanes with plenty of room to maneuver — multiple boaters call it the best launch on Hubbard Lake.
More Than a Ramp
This doubles as a solid family spot with a playground, sand area, swim beach, pavilion with tables, and a big wooden swing overlooking the lake. Easy to keep the family happy while someone handles the boat.
Ramp Debris Noted
At least one reviewer mentioned the ramp area in the water could use cleaning up. Worth a quick look before backing in, especially later in the season.
Parking Is a Non-Issue
With 41 trailer spots and reviewers noting 'lots of room,' this launch doesn't seem to fill up the way some Hubbard Lake access points do. A stress-free choice even on summer weekends.
