Ruth Lake Marina offers a convenient boat ramp and dock for paddlers, canoeists, and motorized boaters. The two-lane paved boat ramp provides easy access to Ruth Lake, a scenic reservoir located about 70 miles from Eureka, California.
The marina is open from April 1 through October 31, seven days a week from 7am to 7pm. There is ample parking available for vehicles with boat trailers. While there are no courtesy docks, the boat ramp and dock make launching watercraft straightforward. Ruth Lake is situated at an elevation of 2,654 feet, offering cooler temperatures and excellent fishing opportunities for trout and bass.
Nearby campgrounds include Fir Cove Campground and Mad River Campground, providing options for overnight stays. Boaters should be aware of the mandatory 30-day red quarantine band requirement and obtain it from the marina or Ruth Rec Campground before launching. This access point is a great starting point to explore the beautiful Ruth Lake and its surrounding natural areas.
