What visitors say
Mixed reviewsRiverside Boat Ramp features 4 lanes and a small wheelchair-accessible dock that attracts friendly anglers with good fishing opportunities. The main drawback is limited parking—spots are cramped and narrow, with the lot becoming congested on busy days and vehicles sometimes blocking sidewalk access to the dock. The ramp lacks shaded areas, though its convenient location and peaceful atmosphere make it a popular spot for regular visitors.
