With Raccoon lake being at winter pool, is there a ramp that you can launch a 20ft bass boat from.

The main ramp at Park is the last one to go, but if it is down to winter pool it is not usable . Take an aluminum if you can it can be real good in winter.
NO. Don't even try it. Was there last Sunday and it was about 1' up from winter pool and it was a night mare. Got a scuffed prop to prove it in a 19' boat with a hyd. jack plate. A couple guys in 21' boats just left without launching.
Maybe with an aluminum boat with a long trailer and a 4 wheel drive truck. There might be enough to get it off the trailer but you will have problems getting the boat to it. It is silted in pretty bad in front of the ramp.

i have the ramps number 317.335.3222 they can get you to the shop you need to talk to Rick
The guys name is Rick Jones and the tourneys are every Sunday in November. I was fishing the last one last Sunday. They are over now.
I don't believe Rick works there anymore either.

last i heard it was going to stay open this year
I heard a year ago, so it could be wrong, that they were only going to stay open until December 1. I think the lake is ran by the city so you might be able to call someone there to find out for sure.
