What are the boat launch fees and dedicated trailer parking rules at Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch?

Detailed answer

Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch requires all boaters to pay a daily launch fee of $40.00 to access the ramp and the dedicated trailer parking area. This fee covers both the launching and retrieving of your vessel within the same calendar day. The dedicated trailer parking lot is situated immediately adjacent to the launch ramps for convenient access. Parking enforcement hours are strictly in effect from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. During these hours, only vehicles actively towing a boat trailer are permitted to park in the designated trailer spaces; standard passenger vehicles without trailers must use the regular public parking lots, which have separate hourly rates. The maximum allowable length for any vehicle and trailer combination parked in the dedicated zone is 45 feet. Failure to display the valid daily launch receipt on your dashboard, or parking a vehicle without a trailer in the dedicated zone, will result in a minimum parking fine of $75.00. Boaters are strongly advised to arrive early on weekends and statutory holidays, as the 85 dedicated trailer parking spots frequently reach full capacity by 8:30 a.m. during peak summer months. Overnight trailer parking is strictly prohibited, and all vehicles and trailers must be removed from the launch facility by 10:00 p.m. unless explicitly authorized by park management for special events.
