Re: JamesTown Ramp
Hello to the group. I would like to answer some of the statements made about towing and booting on our ramp at Jamestown. but first I would like to say fisherman are more then welcome at JRM. and the staff will work with you in anyway we can to make your visit an enjoyable one. We have the lower part of the ramp coned off and no parking signs up as we are working to get ready for the corp to extend two of our lanes so that we will have 3 useable lanes this season. during the week please do not park below the cones as this is for workers and heavy equipment. The launch ramp one-way road is now closed for about 2 to 3 weeks as we are clearing underbrush from along the road way for more parking. We will have to restrict this parking to cars and trucks only "NO Trailer" . This is so that we can provide more parking for those who come to JRM. We are also clearing underbrush from the sides of our gravel trailer parking lot. this way all trailers can be parked "Head In" instead of longways. This alone will add about 55 more spaces for trailers. We are looking into clearing in other areas for more parking also.
Our ramp has signs stating where the 5 min loading and unloading zones are . where handicaped parking is and where no parking is allowed. We have yellow strips and no parking painted on the pavement in these areas. We also have signs stating where tow zones and the fines zones are. This is to keep the ramp safe and traffic flowing without cars,trucks, and trailers blocking your way. I am the one who put the warning tickets on the five trucks parked in the loading zone with their trailers attached protruding out into the ramp area last week. this was a Warnings as I knew these fisherman were not regulars at JRM. I stated that they would be towed if not moved within 4 hours. I also stated that the fine for parking in a loading zone and having you trailer on the ramp was a $50.00 min. As stated this was a Warning they were NOT find nor were they towed, BUT They clearly disregarded the signs and were so warned. Our ramp is well marked with signs and we are working to improve in this area.
We have a honor box located on the wooden walkway for your launch fee's when the officer is not at the ramp,lthis is a large silver box with large blue letters stating "HONOR BOX" on the front.
During the daytime hours there are two Commissioned Peace Officers on Duty at JRM Should you have any questions please call on marine channel # 14 . Jamestown Marina is patroled 24/7 by Law Enforcement Officers for your safety and protection. We are here to help you enjoy your visit to the lake.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions about your visit to Jamestown Resort Marina.
with best regards

Re: JamesTown Ramp
hi Peter sorry i will miss you tomorrow but Curt will be working. kind of under the weather and taking a sick day tomorrow. No park in the paved lot to the left of the guard shack. the sign says boat rental lot. tell everyone to use that lot till April 1st. during the winter Nov to April we let fisherman park their trucks and trailers in that lot. saves them a long walk. well at 680ft elv. it saves them a longer walk LOL.
take care Tony

halcomb's
Lake Cumberland February 22, 2007
I talked with the security guard at Halcomb Thursday and he told me; Halcomb is closed between the hours of 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Monday thru Friday due to blasting rock on the hill. There is no blasting on Saturday and Sunday and the ramp is open all day. I also ask him if any one was having trouble launching boats due to the water level and he said he knew of no one having any trouble.
When I was there Thursday there was only one lonely pickup truck and boat trailer in the parking lot. Every thing else was construction related.
