I have been using that ramp for years, but now I will find another place to launch. The parking area at present is uswed for storage and construction mostly, the extyra parking area is quite a walk for my old bones, and when and if trooper island opens, it wontget any better,I dont minf disconnecting my trailer, but there is no place close toeven park a single vechicle. Gonna stick with cumberland. I've noticed something over the past few years, that is a freak of nature, many more horses as--s than horses at dale.Thank GOD for the cumberland river, they still dont have waterskiers on it, and jet skiers are few.Maybe this 3 buck pl;us gas is a good thing.
