There is a town launch called Scott's park. It is on the inlet to the lake. There is also a restaurant on the same town road that allows launching for a fee. The last time I knew the town park was donation launching

thanks lily i think i found it google maps calls it fuller park i think

 

i wonder if the canal is deep enough for  my boat

Like I said off the same town road is a restaurant on the lake. They used to allow launching for a fee. I haven't been up the channel this year but used to go up it in a aluminum center console. I just would keep your out board trimmed up. Usally it was around 3 ft deep for the most part

 The town  launch is NOT donation.. Its $5, and they check  license plates..

 

 Its pretty shallow, but trimmed up until you  get near the buoys in the lake you should be ok

Did not meen to give false information the last time I was there it was for donations but that was quite a while ago

Launch at the glen haven restaurant or seveys marina.

The town park can be a little hairy if the lake is low, depends on your boats draught and if you have tilt/trim. Seveys is at the bottom of a very long, windy, and exceedingly STEEP hill. I can't reccomend. Glenhaven restraunt has expanded their slips and redid the launch. It is $10 according to their website.

Like most launches on Skan it can fill up fast. Best to get there early and not chance it.
