Charging for boat launch at Wabamun !
Read the sigen at Wabamun ,they are going to start charging to launch your boat at the main town boat launch starting july 29.
Looks like everyone will just have to head over to the provinial campground launch ,it should be for free still. |

I stay way west it's not so steep there . Does it say how much ? At Wizard lake you cant park or launch without paying or have a pass as of a couple of years ago already . |
Depending on the cost i would pay if i did not have to wait in line to launch.

$10 daily and there is a season pass available at town hall but not sure of the cost for that.
|
dont mean to hijack, but, is there a launch at fallis? big enough for an 18 foot boat? thanx in advance?
|
Don't launch anything bigger then a 14 foot aluminum at falls. Way to shallow. You will be 30 feet from shore by the time you are floating.
|
The answers to all the questions you were afraid to ask...

Paid 15 dollars to put my boat in
First time I took the boat out today. Costed 15 to put it in at the wabamun public dock. For an hour on the lake!
|
15 bones for VIP parking and boat launch .............. I am happy to pay for no line ups and a excellent launch.
Water is up over a foot and almost at end of asphalt - 100% of the concrete launch blocks are under water. My 18 footer (and she's pretty deep) went in nicely and read 5 feet deep only 20 feet out from the launch ramp. Rear tires on truck dry ......... in and out. Best $15 bucks I spent today .......... with a 10 lber to boot ........ |
Pavement from my house to the launch is worth in for Me !
Great launch and Paved parking with a dock to tie up and no mud to deal with. Washrooms are right there also. All the right things for me. Cheap price for a nice launch in my book. I noticed that the whole machine is taken out for the winter so no fear of paying after freeze up. Also..... I'm an early fisherman and usually on my way out by noon. I've given my Ticket to a fellow angler on my way out. my bad ........ |
Used to get gas and food in town and then launch, but launch from the provincial park when town charges.
|
What if a guy wants to put in a small personal pontoon? Do you have to pay to park? It is there other parking close by?
Haven't been there since the changes. LC |

I will never understand how people can pay 2-5 dollars for a coffee and money for bottles of water, but complain about fees like this.
Great launch, VIP parking, bathrooms and no mud? I want that stuff for free! The people that live around there can pay for all of the out of towners to come and use the lake! Raise their taxes! Give your heads a shake. |
I have no issue paying the 15 bucks, the lauch is amazing and people who I have been around using it are courteous and pleasant overall... And the bathroom is key sometimes after a day on the boat...
|
Am I the only one who still pees off the deck of his own boat?

i think a fee to use a boat launch does nothing but benefit the people who use it!
fees= better maintenance better boat launch. |
I wouldn't mind paying to launch a boat, but 15 bucks, that's tourist type money.
