Apple Island Reminder
As of today the Apple Island marina is open. There are two ramps to launch boats from. The state purchased the ramp on the left and is free. The one on the right is owned and operated by the marina. I spoke with them yesterday and they said if people prefer to launch from the one on the right, they still can but there will be a $3 fee. The state also purchased the parking area on the other side of Featherbed Ln and is also free. It's going to get very busy there soon. Hope this will clear up and questions people have.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will go buy a boat.

Re: Apple Island Reminder
They both have docks. As you pull in, the public one is the second one on the right. It sounds more complicated than it is. Any questions, just stop by their office and ask. They are very helpful.

Re: Apple Island Reminder
Has the ramp been fixed so you can launch and retrieve on a level trailer? This is great news. Thanks for the headsup.

Re: Apple Island Reminder
Unfortunately, the state ramp has propwash problems. Its worth the 3 bucks to retieive at the better ramp. Hopefully F&W will install the concrete plank ramp soon.

Re: Apple Island Reminder
I launched and recovered at the state ramp on Thursday. It seemed much more level to me than it was a month ago. Not sure if some gravel had been dropped in and leveled or not? My trailer was very level and the boat easily centered on the trailer.Black Ghost (Ken) wrote:Unfortunately, the state ramp has propwash problems.

Re: Apple Island Reminder
As a reminder, I think they are asking that people not pull into the area via the road (featherbed lane) but rather to access via the parking lot entrance...

Re: Apple Island Reminder
I have yet to pull in the other way 
Oops.
I love how narrow the docks are now. Since the one has been moved over... the hole is not as bad. IMO.
