What visitors say
Mostly positiveDaniel Crouse Memorial Park Boat Ramp offers a quiet fishing spot with recently resurfaced parking and facilities including picnic tables, visitor information, murals, and an electric car charging station. The ramp accommodates approximately 10 vehicle-trailer parking spots plus additional standard parking, though truck-trailer parking can be limited during busy times.
