A great project, that I hope we can maintain for a while on this board, is what ramps are in service. Good information would be the water levels at the end of each ramp. All help would be appreciated by many of us. If you know the depth at each of these ramps, or if you know of other public ramps, please post the information. Thanks.

These ramps are identified on the AL DCNR web site
http://www.outdooralabama.com/fishing/freshwater/where/reservoirs/martin/access/

Operated by AL DCNR
Kowaliga - estimated end of ramp is 476 msl
Madwind Creek – out of service per LTL on 10/10
Paces Point (Pleasure Point)
Smith Landing
Wind Creek State Park

Operated by Alabama Power
D.A.R.E. Park
Union – good to about 475 per Lakeman on 10/10

Operated by Tallapoosa County
Between the dam and Wind Creek State Park (help with the common name)
Upstream from Wind Creek State Park (help with the common name)

Operated by Alexander City
North of 280 bridge - mckaygmc 10/7 water at edge of boat ramp but small trailers in parking lot. Mckaygms 10/15 ramp is out of the water (added: estimate end of ramp at about 476 msl)

Private Ramps open to the public
Anchor Bay Ramp – mbk 10/13 water 6” below end of ramp with about a 12” drop off. End of ramp is about 477 msl

Kowaliga ramp has a sign out that says RAMP CLOSED, low water, use at your own risk...

Alex City is out of the water. There is a big hole at the end of the concrete.

I watched one guy drop his aluminum boat trailer off in it to unload and then drag it out with rocks hanging on the leaf springs....crazy

Thanks for the replys. I used the Kowaliga ramp on 10/3 to take my pontoon boat out - difficult then and the water as about 478. The huge rock on the west ramp was a real pain. Rumor (I think on this forum) is that DCNR plans to extend the Kowaliga ramps - any news?

I do not thank the ramps need anything, the boats should have been out weeks ago if you can read , if not TS. It will take 3 years for Martin and other lakes to recover, and that`s with normal rainfall. Mite betime to bail out.

NEWSFLASH: There is still a lot of water in Lake Martin. Fall, winter, and spring are great fishing for some of us. The problem now is not GETTING OUR BOATS OUT, but getting them back in so we can enjoy some of the other pleasures of lake living - fishing and enjoying the beauty of our lake when it is not as crowded and hot. Be happy for what we have. I still have a useable ramp but many of our forum readers do not and this is simply an attempt to help them be able to enjoy the lake this year.

Union ramp still in use as of today. Can launch large bass boats.
