We are back the portage as well to the west side of rt 2. My boat is 28ft and most of the times I have no issue getting in or out, we even have a few 25ft er Wil inboards and most the time they have no issue. The later the fall gets the more chance of issues. The last 3 years there has been very water level, about 5 or 6 summers ago we had lower water all summer. My only complaint being back there is the long idle through downtown to get to the lake. But as stated it's almost never to rough to fish on the river, and it's a great place to ride our jet skis. So for 350 a year for dockage I will deal with the few minutes of idle and the few days waterms gets low.
