About This Access Site
Cherry Lake Boat Ramp
Located in the Stanislaus National Forest, the Cherry Lake boat ramp provides access to the largest lake in the area. This is a popular destination for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters looking to explore the scenic mountain lake.

The boat ramp is situated next to the Cherry Valley Campground, with trailer parking available nearby. The ramp is open year-round, though access may be limited during winter months due to road closures. Visitors can enjoy fishing, swimming, and hiking in addition to boating activities at Cherry Lake.

The lake offers a peaceful, uncrowded boating experience, with coves and inlets to explore along the eastern shoreline. Boaters should use caution, as the Rim Fire burned area surrounding the lake may present potential hazards like loose rocks and debris flows. Restrooms and other basic amenities are available at the adjacent campground.
