Title: Chambers bay boat launch?
Post by: Jamieb on May 06, 2018, 05:11:33 PM: Looking at google earth, theres a boat launch at chamber bay marina. Any one here use it? is it accessible to the public?
I've been to the launch under the RR tracks in Steilacoom and I don't think I can launch there.

I used to hand launch on the beach just down from their my smaller boats.

Yes but time consuming
