Spill the beans !!! I'm ready for all you transients from that end to clear out of White Oak :grinpimp:

Saw them painting stripes and other things today.

Just saw on Facebook that there will be a ribbon cutting Thursday April 2 @2 pm.

The Boat launch is now open for everyone to use.

They had a gathering of about 30 people for the ribbon cutting. There were several speakers and rep. of the Coast Guard, Sheriff Dept and LDWF all with nice big boats back down at the launch.

After the 40 min. of speeches the launch was cleared and myself and another family launched our boats.

Note: the launch ramp is a little steep, so you do not have to back down very far before the boat starts floating.

I took a bunch of pictures....... before I realized I had left the SD card in my laptop.

I plan to launch a little before 7 this morn.

I have not been by after dark...... but that place should be lite up. There are 11 poles with lights like this.

Launched this morning, even got my USCG auxiliary inspection done while waiting to launch ...

Damn shame some trashy bastards already dumped crawfish heads and associated trash in the boat ramp :pissed: Heaven forbid we get the nicest launch anyone could ever ask for and someone trashes it the day after a ribbon cutting :shaking:

If I did not think it would get stolen, I would put up a game camera to catch "who Done-it".

Wouldn't do any good ... You can't fix stupid :redface:

Wow..... can't believe the "new" boat launch has been open for over a year now.

Here are a few updated pic. Usage of the ramp has been fairly heavy. During the week is still fairly light..... maybe 3 to 10 vehicles is the average.

But on weekends..... great to see all the people enjoying the water. A couple of week ago on a Sunday, my wife said that 2 trailers were parked out by the road. My pic was taken about 2 PM on last Saturday.

The Restroom and septic unit have looked to be completed for over a month, but the restroom gates remain "locked" and not open for use.

Very nice launch. Went up to White Oak from prein launch and stopped by. River was really high so the kayak launch was the only sand we found for grandson to play in.
