The site includes a vault toilet and dedicated parking area with approximately 7 trailer spaces. The ramp is handicap accessible, and a loading dock is available to assist with boat placement.

**Lake Overview & Boating Conditions**
Cranberry Lake spans 293 acres and offers good recreational opportunities for paddlers and anglers.
