Description
Ringhaver park has about 576 acres for everybody to enjoy. There are soccer fields, playgrounds, softball fields, walking trails, tennis courts, and a kayak/canoe launch. The kayak/canoe launch is located down a long winding trail and is a considerable hike for those pulling or carrying the yaks. The launch will put you on the western end of the Ortega River. Heading south on the Ortega River offers a nice, peaceful paddle. There aren’t many docks back this way, just a lot of nature. In doing the research on this ramp, I must say, I was a little creeped out walking to this ramp. I don’t know if it was being alone in the woods or the gang graffiti on the dock itself. Either way, go with a partner just to be safe. There may be heavy traffic on weekends for those skiing and wakeboarding in the river.
