 The gently sloped, paved launch ramp is the second shallowest on Fern Ridge, two feet shallower than Richardson Park's and three feet shallower than the ramp at Orchard Point. There is also a shallow bar at the mouth of the tiny harbor, and not much water in it. There is ample parking near the ramp. These photos of the ramp were taken in mid-July of 2026, a dry year, when the lake was about 3 1/4 feet below full, leaving about 3 1/4 feet of water at the toe of the ramp.  The gently sloped, paved launch ramp is the second shallowest on Fern Ridge, two feet shallower than Richardson Park's and three feet shallower than the ramp at Orchard Point.
