Great ramp! Lots of stumps all over the lake. There are three boat lanes starting at the ramp going across the lake (north). They are not marked. Best way for a newbe is to go towards the road and idle north to the other side. There is a boat lane that goes east and west closer to the north side of the lake. If I were you, I would idle. It's not a big lake.

It's not a big lake but right now it's a MUDDY one. The Gilmer area has caught more rain than the rest of us.It has a open spillway so it doesn't hold high water just muddy water.

I wouldn’t call that mud..... But it’s slight stain in some areas. We could see 2-3ft yesterday
