Launch a boat at Catawba Island State Park?

I have the necessary permits to tow. I’m coming from PA. So you’re saying the marina is a bit tight? Didn’t look bad from google earth. Maybe I’ll stop by before I tie up.

That would be wise.

It's not a marina...just a launch with two long docks and a big cement pier that people fish from, off the end of it.

As I said, if you do the approach right, and you know how to back up a trailer, you won't have any issues there. The lanes are good and wide and very long.

But, it is a good idea to go check it out first, anyway....just so you can see what I'm talking about.

I've seen some pretty big boats launch from there, so if they can do it, so can you.

Just don't block it, because it gets very busy, very early there, in the spring, and you'll piss off a lot of people. lol

Best bet, is to launch there from late morning to early afternoon, when it is less busy.
