The Washoe County boat ramp is a public access ramp for boats located in the Washoe Lake State Park in Washoe Valley, Nevada. According to the latest information available from the Nevada State Parks website, the ramp is 20 feet wide and suitable for launching most boats.

The Washoe County boat ramp provides access to Washoe Lake, a natural lake that covers approximately 2,800 acres. The lake is known for its recreational opportunities, including boating, fishing, hiking, and camping.

The Nevada State Parks website states that motorized watercraft are allowed on Washoe Lake, including powerboats, jet skis, and sailboats. However, a 5 mph speed limit is enforced on the lake to ensure safety and protect the natural environment.

It is important to note that boaters must follow all regulations and guidelines set forth by the Nevada Department of Wildlife and the Washoe County Parks and Recreation Department when using the Washoe County boat ramp and accessing Washoe Lake. These regulations may be subject to change, so it is recommended to check for updates before planning a trip.
