What visitors say
Mixed reviewsPublic Landing is a straightforward boat ramp with a convenient nearby bar. The ramp itself is easy to use, though it can get crowded during peak times. Parking is a notable concern, as restaurant patrons at the adjacent bar often take up spaces needed for boat launch visitors.
