West Overlook Campground Boat Ramp
About
West Overlook Campground Boat Ramp is a boat launch on Coralville Lake in Iowa, about 4 miles from the town of Coralville. As its name suggests, the ramp is tied to the West Overlook Campground area on the lake. For comfortable weather on the water, late spring through early fall is the best window. Typical averages from the Iowa City airport weather station, about 7 miles away, show highs near 73°F in May and 78°F in September, with July peaking around 86°F. Several short trails sit within about half a mile to a mile of the ramp, including Woodpecker Nature Trail, Mushroom Forest Trail and Squire Point Trail. Tailwater West Day Use Area, about half a mile off, offers pier fishing.
