This concrete boat ramp at 121 Smith Road in Hinsdale provides access to Ashmere Lake's southern basin via a dirt driveway marked by a brown "Public Boat Ramp" sign, with gravel parking for approximately 6-12 vehicles and a trailer-friendly launch.

The narrow paved ramp accommodates both motorboats and paddlecraft, though the parking area is sloped with uneven terrain and lacks accessible parking.

An alternate car-top launch is available at Route 143 near Peru Road for smaller vessels like kayaks and canoes seeking access to the northern basin.
