Hey,
Figured since not alot of people ride here, I'd boat the latitdue/longitude of the ramps on the lake with some comments -

The “Main” 125 boat ramp 39.015241,-84.121242. Best ramp on the lake I've used so far. very wide, steep and deep. the only thing you have to watch out for is the concreat slab to your right (if looking down the ramp at the water) extends down into the water, so avoid the area between the ramp and the dock at all costs. If the water level is down far, this could be the only ramp on the lake open.

The 125 damn dam ramp 39.020017,-84.150167. By a large no-wake zone, smaller with not much staging area, but a pretty decent ramp nonetheless.

The 125 last resort ramp 39.001793,-84.089313. Never used this one. By a sketchy area of the lake with alot of underwater fallen trees.

32 main boat ramp 39.037053,-84.130039. Sketchiest ramp on the lake by far. if your looking down the ramp at the water to your right there will be a channel to the dam, DO NOT TAKE THIS, its extremely shallow. Head out toward the beach directly across the lake. stay in the middle, as there are alot of underwater trees to your port and starboard.

32 campers boat ramp 39.025385,-84.097595. Decent ramp, narrower though. You have to watch out for a sandbar thats about 200 yards from the ramp right by a no wake bouy. when the water was low a couple years ago we beached the boat on this one (no damage though).

Hey TduB- Thanks for the post. Very helpful. We're just starting to boat in Cincy and are going to go to Eastfork. We're planning on using the Tate Ramp, which is a relief since you said that's the best one.

We were also at Eastfork on that Friday night. Don't remember specifically seeing either of your boats, but I do remember seeing other wakeboarders- guess that was you. We have an orange and black '05 x-2. We're pretty new to wakeboarding (still trying to clear the wake!), so if anyone sees us and feels like giving some lessons or tips, or just wants to say hi, flag us down!

oh.. just another note, the 125 dam ramp does not have docks in yet. tried to put in there last night and was sorely disappointed.

trying to dockstart off the large concrete slab was only an afterthought. I wouldnt even try to put in that one yet...
