As CreekMaster has already said the campground ramp is the best way to go...unless you’re by yourself and not that spry....it can be dicey launching by yourself....a boat can get away quickly. I have been up there enough to have seen several get away and had to call a friend or get another boat...if someone is close by...to go get their boat. Now.....about the other ramp. I have launched from that ramp with no problems......but loading is another issue due to the flatness of the ramp as he speaks of. I had to back my vehicle so far back the exhaust were under water...and I was in the water waist deep trying to get that boat back on the trailer. When I launched there was zero generators......they turned 2 on shortly after I started fishing. So I thought deeper water.....easy loading. Well that is not the case...the deeper the water the flatter the ramp becomes. I am going to go up in heat of summer and try launching and loading on zero generators. I have had a couple of folks tell me they have no trouble loading on that ramp. The last several times I have been my nephew and I have watched folks launch at that ramp and then I have watched them take 2 hours to get a boat back on their trailer there. My nephew has also launched at that ramp with a much smaller boat than mine. He had to take his motor off...get in the water....and had someone help him get his boat back on the trailer...while his 93 year old dad sat on a rock watching them...LOL. I use Liquid Roller on my bunks and if there is any rear tilt at all my boat just slides off....and that stuff makes it easier to load too. I have some Slick Bunks that I need to put back on there. But sometime this summer I am going to try agin during periods of no generation. Oh...and if you do launch at the campground make sure you get loaded before they cut those generators off.
