Marina and Boat Ramps
Lake Blue Ridge Marina Boat Ramp
GPS: N 34 degrees 52.250′ W084 degrees 16.699′
The easiest route to take if you’re towing is to stay on 515 until the traffic light after First Street. There will be an Ingle’s on the left and you want to take a right at the CVS. Follow this road until it dead-ends, take a left, then bear to the right on Marina Drive. The boat ramp is past the main Marina store on your left. There is a $15 launch and parking fee.

Lakewood Boat Ramp
GPS: N 34 degrees 53.116′ W084 degrees 16.043′
If you’re towing, it’s most convenient to stay on 515 past the dam until the Highway 60 traffic light. Take a right on 60 and follow this section of 60 about a mile until it dead-ends, take a right, then the Lakewood Boat Ramp is about a mile on your left. The facilities are limited to a vault (non-flushing) toilet. The ramp launch and trailer-only parking require a $3 daily fee which is taken through a self-pay board. Vehicles without trailers are not allowed to park here.
Morganton Point Boat Ramp
GPS: N 34 degrees 52.123′ W084 degrees 15.271′
From town, go east on the four-lane approximately four miles to a right on Hwy 60 south. Follow 60 south to Morganton, going straight when the road curves around past the post office. Bradburn’s Grocery and Sporting Goods is on the corner. Turn right just past Bradburn’s, and go past Miller’s Fabrics on the left, past the rec & camping area signs on your left, towards the end of the road where the ramp will be on your right.

Dry Branch Boat Ramp
GPS: N 34 degrees 50.772′ W084 degrees 17.559′
The easiest route to take if you’re towing is to stay on 515 through Blue Ridge and take a right at the CVS Pharmacy light. Follow this road until it dead-ends, take a left, then take your first right onto Dry Branch Road. This will turn into gravel after a few miles. About a mile after you’ve left pavement, you’ll see a “Lake Blue Ridge Campground” sign–don’t turn here! Around the bend, take your next left into the ramp parking lot and you’re there. There is a $3 launch and parking fee.
Word-to-the-wise: don’t take big, expensive boats on this dusty, curvy, one-way dirt road. You’re better off at the Marina or Lakewood ramp; it’s a paved tow all the way to the water, and these are always the deepest ramps.
I think it is awesome that you give the GPS location for all the boat ramps! That way, obody gets lost….
Thanks!
