Which ramp at Ivie would be easier to load and unload Concho Park Marina or Elm Creek. I am 77 and plan on loading and unloading by my self.

You also have Padgett Park which is a lot less traffic

As far as unloading by yourself, i dont think you would notice much difference between the two. Concho would be protected more from a heavy south wind if that was to be a factor, it would also be better to put in if you were planning to fish up the rivers. Elm Creek would be slightly more protected from a heavy north wind and would be better if you were fishing main lake.

I'd choose Elm. Flatter area to beach a boat.

Use the ramp next to the dock back up close enough to step from dock into your boat. Easy peasy
Retirement best job ever.

I'd choose Elm. Flatter area to beach a boat. I went and gassed up at Concho and was going to launch there...but decided against it because the ramp looked like a steeper angle. I just got a 2wd so I wasnt liking that. Im sure its a tiny amount if anything....but i didnt like the looks of the Concho ramp...in my opinion

Concho ramps are pretty steep. I’d go Elm unless you plan on fishing the upper end and don’t want to run the lake
