North Lake Launch Guidance

What is the parking situation, how close to the ramp can you park? Sq

This was from the top of the old ramp.

There is quite a bit of parking closer than we’ve been able to park in many many years. But there aren’t many people here right now.

The houseboat is on the dock that is by ramp 1.0.

The other dock is the NPS dock.

The 2.0 ramp is around the corner. Close enough for a seasoned gentleman with a bad wheel should be able to walk there no problem. Especially if it stays as dead as it is right now.

Day parking from the first older ramp on up. Maybe a 100 spaces. Then longer term on up from there. Another 100 or so and assuming that parking can go up on the old pavement. . Saw a lot of vehicles with red stickers plastered on windows in the day parking area on the way down so they must be watching. There is no dock at the new ramp. Have to drop off and load at the old ramp

How close is the Primitive Launch to a parking area?

We went down to bullfrog 8/26-29th. Launched at the exec ramp on Thursday no issue but when we came back to retrieve on Saturday they had closed the Exec ramp. Had to retrieve on the dirt ramp. 24 ft boat double axel and it took three of us to get the boat on right. real steep and only 5 ft deep. Best thing is to put your winch strap on the top side of the trailer and pull your boat as close as you can and then you will need to tie down the front of the boat because you can't get the boat up snug. Lake was fantastic and two of us fished and could catch strippers trolling all day long from mile marker 46 to Halls.

They opened a new ramp around the point past the steep dirt ramp on Sunday. Not as bad from what I heard. I didnt know about it and pulled out on the steep one

It’s a short walk
