Man...Friday really is the new Saturday. You'd a thunk it was a weekend with all the boats launching...all morning long. There was a lineup of power squadron types at The toll booth as I was leaving just after 1 pm...just in time. Had lots of company on the lake.
Ain't that the truth, and as Hyrum is same way. At Hyrum the launch often gets full force of waves from those wake boats as the 'no wake' bouys are not really very far out and there is no buffer like at the Willard marinas. It does make it a somewhat difficult (at least for me) keeping straight on when loading my 17" PolarKraft, not to mention that even if you have things straight the waves will lift you right off the bunks and kewampus again. Hell, I just waded in yesterday and got her straight; I'm too old to be embarrassed.
I forgot to ask - is there a second lane at Willard where you can enter if have an annual pass? There is not at Hyrum, and if there is a line you will just have to wait for all those paying. How about other state parks? Seems to me if you purchase an annual pass you should be able to enter with not waiting for all those day use purchasers, and just display your tag. Can'y be that bigh a deal to walk the parking lot for displayed passes which I'm sure they do anyway.
