We have a new permit system we are implementing this summer!
Permits will be available upon resident's first visit to the launch. A new electronic decal system will allow easy access to the launch by activating the automated gate arms.
What's new for residents?
1. You will receive an electronic bar-code sticker and digital pin code upon registering your boat this summer.
2. You will be required to purchase a season pass upon registration for $35.00, which will help cover the cost of the sticker, pin and other expenses related to improving Lake safety this summer and in the future.
3. You will only need to bring in your documents to register for a permit once, as we will be keeping digital records of these document.
4. The bar-code sticker will be required to be placed on your boat(s) (specific height and location information will be provided by boat launch staff), as this sticker will be scanned to provide flexible access and track boat activity in and out of the launch.
5. The sticker and pin will allow access in and out of the boat launch parking area (users will be required to be out of our launch parking area by 10:00 pm.
