Restrooms Motorized Boat LaunchesAbout
Atlantic City Boat Ramp is one of Seattle Parks and Recreation's launching sites for power boats. Located in a protected cove along Seward Park Avenue south of Beer Sheva Park at the intersection of S Henderson Street, Atlantic City is the southernmost Seattle boat ramp on Lake Washington. Atlantic City is a wide ramp with plenty of dock space that can accommodate up to six launches and/or retrievals at a time. This site is also home to many different birds, waterfowl and wetland animals.
Named after the New Jersey city in 1905, Atlantic City Boat Ramp was the end of the line for the Seattle trolley that traveled along what is now Rainier Avenue.
