Looking at my navionics app this morning I found a couple marked ramps on the west side of the lake. One is just south of the E Lone Oak Rd. bridge and another south of there in the northern most cove of the 3 coves between E Lone Oak Rd and the Marina. I cant find anything online about these and looking at google maps they just appear to be dirt roads/trails leading to the lake. Has anyone used these "unmarked" ramps/launches? Are they on private property? I'd like to fish that side of the lake more,but from what I can tell there seems to be less ramps on the west side.

I appreciate your help.

I've seen those and not sure what they are. It is corp land all around RR so they would not be private. I've never looked to see if they are there but I don't think you can use them if they are.

They are public property, mostly used by hunters.

Thanks for the map, mbole11. I actually just stumbled across that same map eariler today. I think I'm going to hit Ray Roberts saturday. I'm going to try to launch from the WMA access point just west of the Sanger Marina. According to Google Maps it looks like it may be a few hundred meters to the water from the parking area. I've always wanted to fish that series of coves there on the south west side,but never made the trek in the kayak. I'll have to cart the kayak in on foot. It should be interesting.

Thanks again!

If you're going to access the lake via WMA you'll need to purchase the "Limited Public Use Permit" for $12; it's license #175.

On the North side of the lake off of 922 there are several dirt roads that dead end into the lake and are public. One of them, if you study a map, is very close to Walling hump and is a great area to fish! Buck creek is always protected and my favorite small boat water on the lake!
