Emery County boat launch
Emery County
The Emery County boat ramp is wide enough to accommodate most small to medium-sized boats, including fishing boats, canoes, and kayaks. The ramp itself is approximately 20 feet wide, with a gentle slope that makes it easy to launch and retrieve boats. The parking area near the boat ramp can accommodate several vehicles and boat trailers.
Ferron Reservoir is a popular fishing destination in Utah, stocked with rainbow trout, brown trout, and cutthroat trout. The reservoir is also suitable for recreational boating, jet skiing, and water skiing.
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources regulates the use of boats on Ferron Reservoir. The reservoir allows boats with electric motors or gasoline motors up to 10 horsepower. All boats must have a current Utah State Parks sticker and be registered with the Division of Wildlife Resources.
In summary, the Emery County boat ramp in Utah is a concrete boat ramp that provides access to the Ferron Reservoir. It is wide enough to accommodate most small to medium-sized boats, with a parking area nearby for vehicles and boat trailers.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app
Save Emery County as a favorite, set a discharge threshold or a wind/precipitation alert, and the iOS app will push the moment conditions cross.
About Emery County
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
