About This Access Site
Beal's Point Boat Ramp is a popular launching site within the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area in Granite Bay, California. The ramp provides easy access to the expansive Folsom Lake, a reservoir known for its excellent water recreation opportunities.

For kayakers, canoeists, and small boat owners, the Beal's Point ramp offers a convenient put-in point. The ramp is open from 6 AM to 9 PM daily, allowing paddlers and boaters to enjoy the lake throughout the day. However, it's important to note that the ramp may become unusable when the lake level drops below 431 feet in elevation, typically occurring in late June to early July.

Nearby, the Peninsula Campground offers designated campsites where boaters can securely tie up their vessels. Additionally, the recreation area features two hike-in environmental campsites at Avery's Pond for a more remote experience. Visitors are advised to wear appropriate footwear, as the lake's beaches and boat ramp areas may require shoes or sandals. With its accessible location and diverse recreational options, Beal's Point Boat Ramp is an excellent choice for kayakers, canoeists, and small boat enthusiasts exploring the scenic Folsom Lake.
