I was there last week.

Actually they repaired the ramp when the water level first got so low. What you saw was the pieces they took out and replaced. They are using the old chunks of concrete to keep the silly jet skiers from trying to use a ramp that doesn't even reach the water right now.

Like I said we set up in the parking lot and roll down the hill on beach wheels on the grass.

The problem with this lake it is over populated with motor boats and jet ski's. You aren't going to get away from them without going to a lake further away. You just have to figure out a way to share the ramp areas with them.

Check into lake Lawtonka. Lots of the old cat sailors from Thunderbird moved their boats down there years ago.

Supposedly they have good beach access, and it is a realatively lightly used lake.

I don't mind sharing it with them, but it can be a bother when they act like idiots. Sorry, I just saw all the rubble and assumed the ramp was torn up. I didn't even walk over there.

I would have just rolled the cat to the beach but I loaned my beach wheels to a friend who was going to Florida for the winter. I didn't think I would be sailing all winter long, plus I had that great spot I used to use where I could just back up to the water.

Another bad thing is that the water is to far away now, Even with the beach wheels it would not be a fun haul to get the boat to the water.

I will have to check out where Lawtonka is!

Lawtonka is in the southwestern part of Oklahoma. It is very near Lawton Oklahoma. I-44 should take you fairly close.
