If you come down I85 then obviously the east side is closest (Up Hwy 280, exit 58).  Do you want to be on the southern portion of the lake near Chimney Rock, the dam and marinas?  If so, you could probably go to Stillwaters and put the boat in.  They may charge, not sure.  Otherwise there are a couple of marina's on Hwy 49 just south of Hwy 34 near all the restaurants.  Also should be some public access ramps down there on the east side but I've never used them.

If you want to be in the Sandy Creek area of the lake (little further north near the town of Dadeville) there are two ramps, Smith Mountain and Youngs Ferry.  Both are public access and I don't think either has restrooms.  Sandy Creek area is less crowded and there are lots of undeveloped areas but no marina so bring all the gas you will burn. There are food stores and gas stations in the area but none on the lake so you may have to drive.  Both public ramps have a dock that you can tie up to in order to make a store or gas run.  Let me know if you need directions to any of these.

So the southern area will have lots of facilities and lots of boat traffic.  Sandy Creek has less boat traffic but no on lake facilities.
