Super nice boat ramp before the canyon stretch. Staging area, double paved ramp, floating docks to move your boat out of the way so others can launch, multiple bathrooms and plenty of trailer parking. Make sure to get your parking permits before you push off.

Always a nice place to lunch or takeout out. Plenty of parking, bathrooms, very clean, a pretty standard boat ramp with a wide enough ramp for two Riggs to be launched at the same time.
