Utility Dock Loaded with Ramp

I have not used it yet as it’s still too cold. But I do have a question. Can I store this in my unheated garage in the winter? Will the sub zero temperature hurt it?

The customer service at Paddle North was great. The helped fix things I needed to be fix in a timely manner and were very understanding. Quality of the product seems great. Can't wait to use it on the water!!

Used Paddle North products while vacationing at a resort in northern MN and loved them. Got a lake house and bought a dock for our new home. Looking forward to opening and getting it in the lake when summer arrives.

Received all items within less than a week of purchase. Exactly what we ordered. Sale was very professional, no pressure.Can’t wait to to use it this spring.

Delivery was prompt & well made item. Also, easy to inflate. Very happy with purchase. This design made it easy to get onto the platform - couldn’t imagine enjoying as much without that benefit! Would have preferred one size bigger for our family boating weekends, but this was what was available at time of ordering. We are still considering getting the bigger size (& will pass the current one on to another interested party, if we do).

Our dogs love this and even let us play on it sometimes! Very happy with our purchase!

We are very pleased with our purchase of the dock with the ramp. It’s durable, stabile, and the ramp allows our middle aged friends easy access. So accessible! We anchored it in the middle of a small lake it hasn’t moved or deflated in the last 6 weeks, since purchase. Customer service was top notch with a representative who talked with me at length about how I wanted to use it and if it would stand up to the elements. We are already thinking of buying another product from Paddle North. And it looks good too - we love the natural vibe in our wilderness area instead of neon inflatables.

We live on a small lake with a mucky bottom and weeds. With 8 grandchildren coming for the week we needed something for them to use in deeper weed-free water. They range in age from 7-16. This platform worked great! Anchored it in 15ft of water and put life jackets on everyone. They all fit at the same time and mostly importantly the raft was very durable. Lots of rough-housing and trying to knock each other off the raft. Such a heart warming sound listing to them laughing and yelling. I thought the 6x9 would be too small but it was perfect for this age. Love it,

We live in a canal community, and the docks are not for hanging out. I have been seeing floating docks along our canal and chose this for myself. I love the customer service, but what I especially love is this dock! This is my second season using it, and it is attractive to look at, sturdy, and very well built. Paddle North is a great brand with sturdy materials and handsome looks. I will probably buy the inflatable paddle boards if we lose our dock after this summer.

We swim the dock out to the lake to jump and float or pile our dock with floating tubes, coolers and old highschool friends then paddle out with our canoe paddles and float the afternoon away. Lake living at its finest.

We love it! Super safe! Grandkids play on it for hours and we have pulled it out into the middle of the lake and played on it! I would recommend it to anyone!

We bought the xl utility dock with ramp because we were looking for an inflatable that all the grandkids could use as well as ourselves. Well this thing is tough. We have 7 grandkids and "King of the Raft" is now a daily activity. They love it and it has stood up to all a bunch of boys can give it! Thanks for thge Summer fun!!

We ordered this raft at our local state fair and just got it this summer. We got the biggest one with the dog friendly ramp. It was really easy to inflate and we had the best time floating on the lake with it. Our dog tried at first getting on all around the perimeter and we directed her to the ramp. She figured the ramp out immediately and absolutely loved jumping off the raft and then being able to get back on by herself whenever she wanted. We also bought the pillow backrest we installed on the other side of the raft from the backrest. That was a nice addition. This utility raft was a big hit with everyone in our family and is so incredibly durable feeling and stable on the water. It’s a much recommended purchase!

We made this purchase at a home show in the middle of winter--and what a great purchase it was. The Utility Dock XL with Ramp is durable and strong and seems like you are on a real dck floating in the water. It is easy to inflate and deflate and so easy to get in and out of the lake. We replaced a giant flamingo float that was so cool--but difficult to get on and off the water and the deflation was awful. We use the paddle north inflater and it really is set it and forget it--although I was a bit panicked when it was hard, but the inflater kept running. SUch an aweome purchase!!

The utility dock has been a game-changer for us. The shoreline of our lake is a little mucky so this allows us to paddle out a bit, put out an anchor, and have a great swim platform. It is amazing how rigid the dock is when fully inflated (we have tested the 2000-lb limit and it is real), and then it has the added bonus of not taking up much space when deflated so it can easily be stored away during the winter. Incredibly high quality. We are glad we went with the built-in ramp, too, as this makes getting on much easier in deep water. Also, we have found the Paddle North electric air pump to be worth it, as well. It inflates the dock very quickly and also speeds up deflation. Our family highly recommends this product!

Such a high-quality item and brings such a bunch of fun to our weekends. It’s easy to use and as easy to transport as such, a high-quality sturdy item can be realistically. The bag really helps the fact that it’s towable is just fantastic.

We used the Utility Dock all weekend, kids, adults and dogs. It was easy for the older adults and pet to climb up on. It’s a two person job maneuvering this dock out of the water. We hit up the young adults to kick in on the purchase, they had no regrets with their investment - they lived on it!

We are so happy with our purchase of the utility dock with ramp. It's durable, big enough for lots of happy little feet (or big feet), and has already provided us with hours of fun on the lake.

We bought this right before the 4th of July and it was a HUGE hit with the whole family. We debated on getting the one without the ramp but so happy that we got the big one with the ramp, it's been so easy to get on and off in the water. My kids have been on it daily! If you're on the fence, just get it. It's amazing!

Excellent floats. I highly recommend the company. My dog loves the built in ladder.

Everything worked great, easy to follow directions and links to video for set up. Seems very durable can’t wait to put it to good use this summer and many more to come. Will try and train our rescue dogs to climb up the ramp, but having the ramp makes it so easy to climb aboard for all! We love it!!

The platform is so fun and useful to put us all very close to the surface of the water. The large size is slightly unruly for one person to set up, but otherwise, it solves so many of our access issues!

I bought this for my grandkids at our Lakehouse. They love it! It’s so easy to get on and so sturdy! It has been a great investment! They spend a lot more time out in the water. Thanks for such great service.

Way better than a lily pad and it is supper stabile and easy to get on.

The ice just came off the lake yesterday, so it’s still in the box.

Good so far. Question: Can I use antifouling paint on the bottom? The dock will be in salt water for an extended period.

we plan to use our raft for expanding our patio in our pool area

Haven’t taken it out of the box. It’s February in Wisconsin, won’t know until we put our boat in water - May 2025
