Spruce Run Question

[saltfisherman]

Launching is from boat ramp area and area across from ramp at the dirt by the lot. No fees until Memorial Day.

There is a main gate that you can stop at and verify the launching idea. From what I understand it's only the areas I have listed above.

Thanks guys. and to get there, simply google mapping spruce run reservoir park will bring me to the boat launch area?

Pull in the only entrance, drive thru the pay area and make a left at the first intersection, brings you right to the launch, good luck

Do they NOT charge during the summer after a certain hour, like 6 or 7PM? I seem to remember night fishing there last summer and not paying a fee...Maybe it was before Memorial day..

You are correct, sir!

i think it's 5pm but double check. also you can car top launch small boats from a few spots off the road that follows it's shore line...there are openings and parking areas and no signs saying you can't car top launch

During the summer they charge during the park open hours...7AM to 5PM has been the norm for as long as I can rememeber. However, on Holiday weekends they extend that and begin charging at 6AM...not sure when they stop charging on those days.

I found that out by showing up at 6:30 to get in and avoid the $10. So basically I drug the wife out early and paid the fee anyway! She don't like getting up at stupid o'clock. Let's just say it was a long morning and I didn't do anything right for a while! To top it off we got skunked too. That really made her happy!

This past year as long as I showed up before 8 I didn't have to pay, weekdays anyways.
