Title: Potholes
Post by: Roo on May 14, 2015, 06:52:38 PM: Anyone use the gravel boat launch either above or below MarDon for overnight? Is there a charge or just need discover pass?

Post by: Bill W on May 14, 2015, 06:55:44 PM: should be just a VAP for the one east of MarDon as it's a WDFW area. The one west of MarDon should be the same. Don't quote me about it as I don't use this launch.

I'm at the State Park currently and the ranger said there is a big bass tourney this weekend, so those spots will be busy as a lot of tourney anglers stay at both it seems.

A homeless guy lives in his van at that launch. The Lind Coulee launch people camp there as well. You don't need a discover pass at either of the launches. The M road launch on the west side of the bridge I believe is a no camping launch. It has a cement launch. The east side of Rd M is a primitive launch. Memorial day weekend is a zoo at the Potholes, get there Thursday afternoon to get a decent spot to set up camp. Lots of folks camp out in the dunes. ORV park should have some pretty good parties this weekend as well.
