Weird experience @ Big Cedar/ Oakmont Boat Ramp

[Guest MOfish447]

That sounds sucky. Oakmont is like that as well. How is the big cedar ramp? I have yet to use it. Might tomorrow or Long Creek

Did you launch on the north side of big cedar cove or the south side?
 

Big Cedar redid the south ramp a few years back. It’s angle is like most corp ramps. It’s pretty good. Parking sux but ramp and dock are good. 

the old ramp was indeed too flat.

Wait does Big Cedar have 2 ramps? Sorry I’m not the most knowledgeable on this area. 
 

I have used Long Creek in the past & had no problems

To my knowledge, the ramp down the road from the blue green cabins is private. It’s flat and on the north side of the cove. Big Cedars ramp is on the south side and on the west end of BCs property on a point.

Good to know. Thanks for the info

I'm intrigued with the black MIB pontoon with the red laser light.  Someone needs to take a photo and post it.

you could use long creek for free if you are staying at BC or wilderness club.  

I suppose our annual Corps pass is no good anymore at Long Creek since Johnny took it over? There's another "amazing contribution" he's made to the sport.

This raises the question discussed several times on OAF of ramps on Corp property like the one on the James at Walnut Springs.  I was in Clevenger yesterday and a guy was launching at a ramp back in there.  It has lots of parking space around it.  I asked the guy about it.  He said it could be used by all but sometimes the locals give him some grief.

The old Oakmont ramp is considered private. As guides we used to launch there but quite a few years ago were told no more. 
 

I believe at one point there were some flat tires. I think Tim Paige had both boat trailer tires slashed. 
 

All the guides that go out of there now launch at State Park or Old 86. 
 

This is kind of funny because when they shut down Viney Creeks ramps we were told by the corps to use the 3 ramps located at Emerald Beach, that we thought were private. 
 

Then like Champ said it now cost at Long Creek which is a total travesty.

Bill, is that the one I was asking about in Clevenger?
