Boat Launch FAQ
-
How deep is the pond?
The pond, named after one of Sandy Point’s previous owners, Baptist Mezick, was dredged to eight feet, however, due to sedimentation, the pond is believed to be approximately six feet deep in some areas.
-
How much is the boat ramp charge?
No additional charge is required to use the boat ramp after the facility service charge has been paid.

Can I leave my boat trailer overnight or for several days?
Boat trailers and vehicles can be left overnight in the large marina parking lot. If you intend to leave your trailer overnight or longer, please check in at the Marina store and fill out a form with registration information. If the store is closed, forms are available at the bulletin board by the Marina Restroom. If no forms are available contact a Park Ranger and inform them of your intentions. The trailers and vehicles should then be secured and parked at the top section of the lot by the Farmhouse.
