    What are the names of the ramps close to Sugar Bay?

    Besides the gravel small ramp in Sugar Bay off the trace what is the best paved road ramp to use close to Sugar Bay? I do not mind getting my boat dirty but it would be nice to find a road and ramp area that is not endless miles of dust, dirt, and ruff road. I really enjoy that general area of the lake for my set up and fishing style.

    For those of you that do live around Central City Kentucky what ramps do you like to use to get onto Kentucky Lake when looking at a close ramp for a general day of fishing?

    Hope to be on Kentucky next Sunday.

    launch across the lake at moors. the ramps at lbl are the worst i have seen in the united states. disgusting docks on the lakes just look at the dock at ky dam village. pretty embarassing to have these nice lakes and such poor facilities. lakes in alabama, tennessee, south carolina etc. that are in worse shape than we are have incredible ramps and docks. it is just a few minutes from the moores and you wont have to fight the rocks and mud and beaching your boat on rocks.

    I usually launch from the moors if I am planning on fishing around Sugar, Smith and Duncan (but I live closest to that side of the lake. There aren't many nice ramps on the LBL side, you can't have a private Marina on Government land - so most of the nicer ramps are going to be on the West side. The only ones I know of that are all paved from the Trace to the lake are Hillman Ferry (I am not sure you can use that ramp unless you are camping there - you may me able to for a fee), or Fenton on the east just past the 68 bridge. If I am set on fishing sugar, smith, and Duncan - I just bite the bullet and launch in Sugar. I usually stop by a car wash afterwards and hose everything down.

    The only other optionso on the LBL side are Fenton and Smith Bay. I have only launched at Smith Bay once but what I remember there was about 100 yards of gravel and the rest of the road is paved. It is still a small single lane ramp like Sugar...
