About This Access Site
**Location & Facilities:** Anglers Point is a concrete boat ramp located on the south side of Lake McBride's south arm, accessible via Anglers Point Road NE near Solon in Johnson County. The ramp is a single lane with an attached dock and paved parking, making it suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. This is a non-reservable public access point.

**Lake Overview:** Lake McBride is a multipurpose reservoir offering calm water conditions ideal for recreational paddling, fishing, and boating. The lake provides a scenic setting with several recreational areas nearby, including picnic facilities and a frisbee golf course. The launch is situated mid-lake on the south arm, providing good access to explore the water body's quiet coves and shorelines.

**Nearby Services:** Several campgrounds operate within 10 miles of the ramp, including Linder Point, Tailwater West, and Tailwater East (all reservable), making it convenient for paddlers planning extended trips. The area is also home to the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site, adding cultural interest to visits. Plan ahead as this is a day-use facility without overnight facilities directly at the ramp.
