Boat Ramp

[swinslow]

There has been a new boat ramp put in toward the far end of the Bass Pro parking lot. Does anyone know anything about this? I assumed when I saw them pouring the concrete that it would be used for BP to launch their boats only, but noticed today that the barricades are removed and there is no gate, etc.

I noticed that ramp, too.

I also noticed that there is a canoe parked there during some days and it is parked under the bridge at Racoon Creek (?).

My theory is that the guy lives on one side of the lake and canoes to work on the other.

I have been told in the past that on Corp of engineers lakes that any boat launch that is made of concrete has to be made public.

I'm not sure if that is true I will make a few phone calls and ask.

I had inquired about it about 6 years ago because of a boat ramp that I wanted to launch from and it was gravel and that's when the guy on the phone told me that.
