What Ramps Do We Have Left?

[Bill Babler]

At 929 or there about's at sunup, whats the options?

Cow Creek for sure

Mill Creek

H. hwy. maybe as the lower road going into the ramp floods over.

State Park

Moonshine Beach

Back Ramp at Aunts

Point 18 up the White and Kings Rivers may not have any, unless I'm forgetting something up there.   Campbell Point off the parking lot may be good.  I usually fish that parking lot in high water, but I'm guessing it will work.

Up the white:

Eagle Rock had lots of boats launched on the big parking lot.

I would think holiday island would be okay too @rps would know for sure.

Houseman Access I would think is usable.

Viney upper ramp I thought was usable at high levels....however MO-state parks was leasing and had closed the front ramp. Not sure if anyone is leasing or if its open this year. 

I think one can launch at a couple of the Emerald beach ramps but the road to get back there is flooded however there is a dirt road detour(one or 2 smaller boats could launch there). 

Up Kings: 

Sweetwater might be able to launch off the circle but there will be parking issues and you'll have to back way down blindly. Honestly launching the boat on the road here might be an improvement over the ramp itself. 

Hickory Hollow is probably usable. Would definitely call ahead backing will be interesting and tight. Heck at this level Romp Hole way up the kings will be usable I would think if you want to go that far. 

Parking is likely the limiting factor in a lot of spots....in spots like sweetwater collects lots of logs and trash that doesn't get cleaned up so you may have to clear a path through sticks and logs.

Parking lot at Eagle Rock would work.  Housman is just to far up for most, and that Holiday Island is a bugger to get down to unless your a resident   

Thanks, good thoughts

And this is the reason I figure the BBT will get canceled again....can boats get under the bridges now?

[Devan S.]

BBT could be quite the show with limited access......of course not everyone is going to be at the same ramp but it could be interesting. 

I think the north side of the Hwy 13 bridge stays out of the water and I would think the east side of Hwy 86 will stay out.

Do any of these have usable curiosity docks at high lake level?  Also a neighbor just told me Indian Point to usable but bad parking.  Also the neighbor told me Moonshine has a fee. True?

Thanks

At 929 to 933, HI is still good, but you need to park in what they call the overflow parking. The ramp at that level is flatish. Easier to do with two people. In the old days people launched off the point, but they blockaded that. BTW, at high water, the point at the opening becomes a prime walleye area.

Bobby, moonshine has a fee but if you have an America the Beautiful pass there is no additional fee.

Emerald Beach has no courtesy dock & after the water is 925, it's very flat & not deep. 

Viney creek (both ramps) us closed & will remain closed.

[Ranger Z22]

just went to Aunts Creek, North Ramp water is all the way up on the ramp, not in the lot yet.  

courtesy ramp can  be used, but not much longer
