The McGuire Boat Ramp on the north shore of French Meadows Reservoir offers day-use access (6 a. m. to 10 p. m. ) for $5 per vehicle, with restrooms available and a $5 day-use fee.

Located in a remote area near the McGuire Picnic Area and Beach, the ramp provides access to the 1,408-acre reservoir for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing.

Note that potable water is not available at the ramp itself, and the nearest services are 40 miles away in Foresthill, so plan accordingly.
