 This is the Marina at the Northwest corner of Fern Ridge.  There is a two-lane ramp with good surface and a dock down the middle.  There is no specific charge for ramp use, but there is an entry fee for the park, with a pay station at the entry.  If you are using the marina or the campground, no further fee is required.  Be sure to display your receipt or permit on the dashboard of your vehicle.
+Fees are charged at this park. There is never an extra fee for the ramp.  Several options exist.
+  * Single day entry bought at pay station, day use only.
+  * Campground site holders can use the ramp, day use only.
+  * Season-long entry pass, for all Lane County parks, day use only.
+  * Season-long entry pass, for any Lane County marina slip holder, allows overnight parking.
+  * Transient marina slip holder pass, allows overnight parking.
+The park is operated by Lane County.  The marina has a host who may be at a trailer by the marina.  Do not count on that and reservations and questions should be dealt with either on line, or at the [[https://www.lanecountyor.gov/government/county_departments/public_works/parks|Lane County Parks]], Eugene (541) 682-2000.
+Boating season is officially April 1 to Sept 30.  Boat ramp use can extend outside of this season, as the park is kept open for day use.
