Ledgedale Recreation Area

They have a cute store with the nicest staff. They let kayakers use their marina for no charge. A great paddle if you turn left and go up the creek and avoid the big boats and the big water.

Ramp Review: Holiday weekend. Steep decline on access road. Brakes will become very hot if not managed properly. Cramped, steep, cement paved ramp. $10 launch fee...not bad imo. Rig up area cramped. Be ready to go when you get in the line or impatient boaters may "encourage" you to hurry since there is little room to go around. Trailer parking very cramped. I needed assistance to exit parking slot in order to not impact other vehicles. (Full size pickup and 24ft trailer). After rerieve, little room to park for securing gear and prepping for road travel. Employees in the camp store are friendly. Bathrooms are to be avoided. Imagine the largest, most foul portapotti ever, then remove the chemical treatments that control odor. Environmentally necessary setup, but only for the stout of heart and those with head congestion/seasonal allergies😉. All in all, good ramp if you can avoid the busiest weekends launch/retrieve times.

Great place to dump the boat in the water for $10. They offer fuel and a small camping store with just the basics. Be careful on the weekends as there is limited parking and half of the nitwits from New York and New Jersey are there attempting to back up a trailer when they have a hard enough time just driving forward.

Tried fishing around here, even the worms got bored. Glad I brought good company with me!

Love this place! We parked our RV there and docked the boat for a couple of weeks this past summer. Jennifer and Stephanie are so nice and accommodating, as is the whole family at Ledgedale. The camp sites are clean and well kept and the bathrooms are also nicely kept. I have a big 27' boat so a good ramp is important to me. Ledgedale has 2 side by side ramps so there is really never too long of a wait and they are nicely sloped and easy to launch off. The cove the marina sits in is so calm you barely need to tie up your boat! The biggest drawback is the proximity to town as it is located about 20 minutes from the village of Wilsonville, but that may be what some people are looking for! A nice place to visit and great boating on Lake Wally.

The water was low, today. Possibly drained for the winter. This made this spot even more fun because you can now see and play on the huge boulders that are usually covered by water!! I still saw people in small boats, so I think fishing might still be okay.
