Hill creek, stay all the way left beside the dock and you'll be ok. The marina has had a channel dug but people who have used it say it's still bad. Everything else is unusable.
Personally I just stick to hill creek. It's not great but no issues as long as you stay left.

When they say stay left that means all the way left against the pier post for if you don't and you have a double axle trailer your trailer springs/axles will drag causing your trailer to get stuck. I know frist hand i was not over near enough. Sevearl on here with double axle trailers have stated they had no problem launching if you bump the pier polls.

The marina is ok, just gets shallow so u have to trim up, and I dont mind pushing over a torn up axle if I have to. I heard they were extending hill creek today though so if they do, it will be great. As said stay way left on the ramp at hill creek currently, and hope.

I still say someone needs to design a trailer with drive axles, just leave the boat on the trailer lol. Still funny

Unloaded at the marina last weekend. Had no problem unloading. The only problem was at the end of the channel where you go into the main lake. There is a high spot about 5' wide that your skeg will hit if you leave your motor down.

Unloading at the marina is no problem. The problem is at the end of the channel. If you have a big boat it will drag. Seen several get stuck and had to get out and push.

I launched my Pantera Classic 19 footer at the marina yesterday. It did drag and barely made it over that shallow part on the way out. Coming back in, had to make two attempts to get through, and it threw muddy water up all over the place. Thinking about Hill Creek next time.

I took a zx225 through today and never dragged. If you have a buddy have him stand up front and you won't drag. I have had zero problems. I will not use hill creek, no way, I like my axle the way it is. You may be able to launch there but if something goes wrong, not good. I will take dragging over that. At hill creek too its just a pita all the way around. Use whichever, but know the risk

Use the marina, no issues there for me either. My trailer drug bottom at Hill creek, and yes, I was all the over.

Used Hill Creek last night. No real problems but it is getting tougher to use. Tandem trailer.
