First time going there. We had to cut it short because a thunderstorm warning was happening. We went ashore safely in our kayaks, my daughter Sarah and I, We sat and watched the storm over the Lake

$8 to park. Motorized boat launch as well as smaller dirt launch for kayaks etc. Staff are friendly and make sure to check boats to prevent invasive species.

But launch has seen better days. But its good enough. Most launchers should be paying more taxes to enjoy an improved boat launch. But good luck convincing people

Best place to launch in saratoga. Parking inexpensive and usually not very crowded. If it is crowded there is a launch you can use in lees camp ground at the same place.

Easy to get your boat launched during the week. I am not sure about the weekends. People are respectable. Boaters are very friendly people.

This is the perfect place to go to ship off and go out on to toga lake if you have a boat, canoe or whatever. The water is a bit murky looking but the area in general is beautiful. And as compared to other places its worth the $8 to park to be able to launch out into the lake by far. If your looking for an enjoyable experience whether by yourself, your family or friends, its worth the stop. Even if to just go fishing by the boat launch area.

Very busy boat launch in the summer, especially on the weekends. If you have a canoe or kayak you are better off launching from Water Front Park just down the road.

Review №28

Great launch with a great approach for loading and unloading. The staff at the boat inspection station are all very friendly. I took one star away because there should be a staff member directing people on what to do. It could be so much more efficient if you had someone telling boaters what lanes to use and when. Technically, you could have two launch lanes and one retrieval lane or any combination of that. Parking can also be limited and single cars often take up spots for tow vehicles with trailers.

Review №35

I like coming here to fish but I dont come here as much as I would like to because people that have pontoon boats and other watercrafts do not know any boat ramp etiquette. You dont unload your truck and prep your boat in front of the ramp. It should not take 10+ minutes to get your boat into the water......2-3 tops. They should build another ramp area or make the existing ramp larger because one side is too shallow and rocky and fisherman block the front so you cannot use that either Saratoga has the money...... make a larger ramp.....

It is a small lake but nice to go on a ride with jet ski

Review №37

Great launch but only 3 stars because they changed it to charge to launch daily fee after the launch was built and paid for by revenue of fishing and hunting licences and they circle the parking lot to find a reason to ticket they boaters, very annoying.
