What visitors say
Mixed reviewsSecretary Boat Ramp features easy access, a large parking lot, and a portapot restroom facility. The ramp is well-suited for launching, though boaters should be aware of height clearance restrictions at a nearby bridge. Visitors note ongoing issues with seagull problems that have affected slip usage, and some maintenance concerns with pilings have gone unaddressed.
