Anyone know if Washington Park is usable or is it all silted in?
I was there over the summer and the one side was unusable and the other was iffy at best.

I’ve been using the center ramp this spring. 18ft Hewescraft Sea Runner, deep and wide aluminum boat. It’s not ideal, but with the lake level up, it’s not been a problem. A few years ago I had to get another truck to assist with a tow strap taking the boat out because the trailer tires were stuck in the muck. Trail Creek marina is a way better facility, but they don’t open til 6 and you have to putt putt a half mile down the river.

Wasn't aware of the 6:00 issue. Thanks. I'll give it a go,

Washington park has been fine. Like Southside said, with the lake levels up, both sides are good. Get there before they want to charge you for entrance, ramp, and parking, they don't like boats there taking up their valuable beach space in the summer.
I imagine they're out there charging already, but shouldn't be a problem early mornings, and it's basically open 24/7 until they start having festivals and such out there, then they close it on the weekends.

I called last week to check fees and they said they were going to start charging this past Saturday. But I launched after 7 twice this week and nobody was collecting.
