US lakes & pondsHome › Boat ramps
US lakes & ponds3,085 lakes across 32 states, from data published on each lake's page.
These lakes have at least one public boat ramp or trailer launch listed on their LakeRipple page; ramps marked resident-only or needing a resident permit sticker are not counted. Ramp records come from state access-site lists (for example NH Fish and Game, Minnesota DNR and NYSDEC) and, where a state publishes no list, from boat ramps mapped on OpenStreetMap. Each lake page shows the ramp type, owner, parking and fees where the source gives them. Horsepower limits, no-wake rules, inspection stations and resident-only ramps are common, so read the lake page's boating rules and confirm with the site owner before you tow.
We list a lake here only when its LakeRipple page carries enough sourced detail to be a full guide; 3,085 lakes qualify today, and the list grows as we add data. Sorted by the number of ramps, then by lake size.
