City Boat Ramp

There is a fee to park with your trailer that is paid at the pay station located adjacent to the boat ramp. Parking is located across Highway 19 at the Fire Department.  If you have friends meeting you for a trip they must also pay to park at the pay station and park at the Firehouse.

There is a per-vessel fee to launch that is paid at the pay station located adjacent to the boat ramp. Although it is possible to launch paddle-craft here, for your safety, we recommend launching from one of the waterfront parks due to the increased boat traffic at the ramp.

Commercial annual pass covers parking and boat launch at this site.

Boat slip rental from Pete's Pier does not include launch fees for City Ramps.
