I like to launch out of Paradise Point Marina off of 8 Mile road. Nice facility and easy to get your boat in and out of the water.

Village and Paradise are your best bet to find to good water. Please help us keep it that way and drive smart. No power turns.

I have to disagree with Envy on GB. Watered down drinks and frozen Cisco food heated in a wood fired oven instead of a microwave. Better food from Bob's next door.

Pixie woods, 2 miles from the crosstown, and free. Village off 8 mile is a good spot too.

I use to launch out of pixie too but the area is kinda sketchy. I have not personally had anything bad happen but a friend of mine who is an ER nurse at dameron hospital said they get alot of "Customers" from there. I have since switched to buckley cove. Nice big ramps, no too far from good water. I have been meaning to give village west a try. Its down Ben Holt and real close to good water.

I agree with Nate. Went there last Sunday and found nice water. However, there was a boat powerturning in the race track area near Delta Wakeboard Camp. :-(

Nate - I'll agree on the watered down drinks. We usually make alternate arrangements on that one but I'm always drinking beer on stuck being the DD.

Morelli park just opened up and it is right under the crosstown/I-5 interchange.
