Pineview help

[wiperhunter2]

The Anderson cove launch is open all year, even during ice fishing season. The narrows are the arm closest to the dam.  Last year in the Fall they started changing to launch, when they never did before. Pineview is just like Strawberry, they are a concession. Even at state parks they charge less in the Winter/fall but not these guys, $23 is what they charge in the Summer, these guys are just greedy.

Does Anderson Cove allow 24-hour access in the winter and do they charge to park?

When I went to the forest service meeting about this issue last year, they said Anderson would be open whenever the other ramps close. Things could have changed since last year but at that time they said they would charge you to use the ramp no matter when you went, Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. If you drive into the park, you pay, not matter if you are launching a boat, a snow mobile, snow dog or ATV. Winter hours do not allow 24 hrs entrance but maybe exit  So if you got there before dark you could get in and get out later that night, even after they close. Sorry I don't remember the hours of operation and as I said that could have changed since last year.

Do they actually have a live person collecting money at the ramp this time of year or is it the iron ranger method? I noticed that Strawberry Bay and Renegade have garbage bags taped over the iron ranger so I assume that means that no fee is required now at the Berry?

I can't tell you that, because I've never gone up there this time of the year, hopefully Kent can answer your question. A few years back they charged to access Strawberry in the Fall, but since last year they have had the pay stations closed there.
