i have driven up by owyhee dam, but never checked out the ramp. is it paved? how much parking do they have?
There are 2 main ramps, both are paved and have a dock. But if the water is low (will not be an issue this year) the dock can be out of the water and the tow vehicle driver will have to swim to and from the boat. Both ramps have a decent amount of parking but not nearly as much as Lucky Peak.
