Ramp Quirks & Etiquette
Narrow Neighborhood Access
You have to thread through a tight residential street to get here. It's fine with a small trailer, but if you're towing anything over 18 feet, take it slow on the turns. The exit back onto Dixie Highway is awkward — limited sight lines, so pick your moment.
Shallow Near Shore
The water right off the ramp and along the beach area is really shallow. If you're fishing, don't waste your time close in — get out to the deeper water where the fish actually are. Kayaks and jet skis launch easy, but bigger boats should power out carefully to avoid dragging.
Parking Is Tight But Manageable
Only about 5-10 trailer spots on an unpaved lot. Weekdays you'll have it practically to yourself. Weekends can get snug, but I've never actually seen it completely full — even during the annual boat party the neighborhood throws. Just don't show up late on a Saturday expecting room for a big rig.
Free And Low-Key
No fees, no gates, no attendants — just a single-lane concrete ramp and a short dock. Compared to the paid launches further south in Oakland County, this place is a steal. It's tucked back in a quiet spot and rarely feels crowded. The trade-off is the pit toilet, which in summer attracts a vicious swarm of biting flies. Consider yourself warned.
