Loves Park Public Boat Ramp

It seems always busy a lot of boats

Plenty of space and parking, next to several parks and bike paths. I highly recommend for any outdoor experiences.

I enjoy going to Sportscore they have a nice boat ramp especially that it's in a lagoon very minimal current that goes through there as long as you remember to stay from Center to the right side all the way out you'll do just fine never cross middle across from the dock is all rock over there seen many boats hit bottom besides that they have a great parking lot wide open they finally fixed the lights so you can see when you come in at night. It's a great place for a beginner boater to launch their boat

Love the launch ramp and right next to Prairie Street Brewery

Ramps aren't terrible. There's 2 of them. Plenty of room for parking and easy to maneuver boat trailers. Small playground for kids. Only major issue is there is no dock at either ramp. The current here is pretty heavy too. To launch solo you have to run your boat up on the rocks. There isn't even a sandy stretch to beach the boat.. I use it because it's close to home but it's worth driving 10 minutes south to the much better ramp with docks and bathrooms. Especially if you have a nice boat or are by yourself.

Sports Core is a gr8 venue. It was in high water mode last I was there so check first about the boat ramp. The hiking trail is open.

Trailer got hit and run (more like driven onto) in the parking lot with no note. Heard other stories previously about trailers and cars getting hit too. There are multiple launches which is nice but it is shallow and in times of less then high water you may bottom out on things.
