I do know this.....At the Alex city ramp .If you stand looking down at the water. the lane on the right is deeper. the lane on the left has alot of sedlment piled up at the end and causes the trailer to tilt to one side. Makes it tough to load a boat.

Harbor Pointe has a boat ramp ($10). Think it still is useable.

Bay Pine MArina has been working with Al Power about the property next to them. They are planning on leasing this property and adding enclosed storage as well as additional parking. FYI per Sonja at the marina.

The one at the end of Johnson Creek road is a very good ramp. Nice incline not too steep. We put our boat in there every year. It is unuseable now though. We road over last weekend to check it out. Like most ramnps it has a pretty good drop off at the end of it and the end of it is barely in the water..

Harbor Point is very low I dont know how they can launch there. You cant even pull in for gas past the first pump 1 foot of water. NO SIGN TELLING YOU NOT TO !!!!! My lower unit was trimmed all the way up and still stuck in the mud. It is the closest place for gas to my house and i will never go ther again.

I launched my Ski Nautique at Real Island at 480.8.

480.3 is still doable but you have to stay in the middle of the ramp.

Marty's Marina is now condos.

The public ramp in Madwind is fine for year round use. It is off of Point Windy Road, but has limited parking. If we go to 475, there may not be a usable ramp anywhere on the lake.
