Ragged island
I was looking to take my 5 year old to ragged island this past weekend and I got a little scared because of the rocks , can anyone post a sketch of the best way to access the docks / rafting area ?

I only use the docks and for docking you come straight in from the South...the rocks look ominous but should be well below a prop especially this season with a full lake. I always trim up my Yamaha anyway. Last season the lake was down significantly and I didn't have any close calls while docking. For rafting, you're on your own.

Like I said on another thread, come around the outside of the island across from the docks and head straight toward the northern most sandy beach. Go real slow with someone in front to spot rocks and when you get close enough, jump in and walk the boat in with your motor raised.

Did you make it over there yet? If so any tips? I want to check it out but like you I am nervous about not knowing where the rocks are.

If you chose to anchor your boat elsewhere but the docks, the rocks can be treacherous unless you’re careful and have a spotter. Good luck! |

I’ve heard different stories re: that red/white marker. Some say keep it to your left (go east of it) going straight in toward the dock, even though the rules say go west of it. They say there is a rock northwest of it. You stay south of it (as per the rules) going east. I think this was part of a thread a couple of years ago.

The top of that rock breaks the surface but if you weren't paying attention you could bump into it... The way the picture loaded the marker is at the right end of the pic...draw a horizontal line from under the stick and above the breakwater. That's where I go in. |
