By the way that ramp is NOT open to the public. I stopped at Ideal Beach to ask about launching there when we left Saturday (10/1) from the lake. The gentleman in the office said that Ideal Beach owns that ramp and RV park but they lease it to a private vendor who has it closed for the season. He also said they are planning on stringing cable across the entrance due to vandalism. Looks like we get to suffer boat rides from the marina to the pile. That ramp would have been perfect for fishing that portion of the lake this fall and winter. Oh well so much for that!
