Copper Boat Ramp

Copper Boat Ramp offers primitive boat launching facilities on Applegate Lake with a paved roadbed that transitions to dirt as water levels recede, plus a dirt/gravel parking lot and shoreline fishing access.

The site is day-use only (sunrise to sunset), free to use, and has no amenities such as water, toilets, or garbage disposal—pack out what you pack in.

Located in the Siskiyou Mountains, it provides easy access for both motorized and non-motorized boating, though heavy boat traffic is common during summer and fall boating season.
