i went there there all private theres tones of launches i asked a half dozen or more offered 50$ and they wouldn't let me saying its there buddies and they have to lock it up. i found one with a big chain on it it isnt locked i just slipped chain off. i tryed got stuck lol i got pulled out buy some guy he was just visiting lookin to buy a cottage. that side is mostly calm and the beach is the best on erie. i ended up going in the bay and drove to pottahawk nice place ruff water tho not a comfortable ride. i give up on my dream of rippin up the beach side if someone were to open a public launch they could charge large and i would pay !!
