none that I know of ,it took me 3 hours last year to find a place ......lot of marnias just no boat launch for trailers and trucks ....  ..can't tell my spot because its a small place ,no parking really ,and I still gotta pay 15 bucks ...  .....Its worth it to me because i don't have to pay tolls or anything ......and if I want to cruse over to eastern bay or somewhere over there, its not that far, 10 min ride or so |

I am surprised you could not launch at Rhodes River Marina or Cadle Creek Marina. Did you try either of these?

If not there isn't there one on the West River, was SteamBoat landing or something (Marina,country club)when I was kid. But other than that, you're pretty much outta luck since it's either private properties or Camp Letts. |

there used to be a ramp on the west river at the ice house. I think that has been closed now for about 5 years or so.....maybe more

I have a boat ramp on my property on the Rhodes River but I bought a bigger boat for this season and can't get it in cause it's not deep enough. It's just a dirt road that runs into the water so not really a solid boat ramp but it worked well for the jet ski and my smaller crabbing boat. That's a shame there's no public boat ramp in that area. Probably going have to start launching my boat at Cadle Creek Marina or Rhodes River Marina since I got my truck stuck this weekend trying to put my new boat in off the dirt road ramp. |

Holiday Hill Marina----East on Central ave to right on Carrs Wharf road to right on Calawasse rd 1/4 mile on left 3922 calawasse rd. Nice small facility 24 hr ramp honor system $15.00. washdown--ice machine--bathrooms. When you launch follow river around to the left .
Good crabbing to all !!!!!

it is no secret the crabs are there and worth the $15 per launch, (same price for a year at the Wye) they appear in numbers late july and stay until last weeks of oct. I caught my limit every time i went except for the first and last time despite the crowds, the comm crab pot line, the jet skis, whitecaps, foul ups, helpers that didnt help, and boats that would anchor 40 ft from my line. Still would rather have a good day working for now.
