What to know before you launch

  • Clean, drain, and dry your boat between freshwater launches to help stop the spread of invasive plants like hydrilla.
  • Parking and lane space can be tight on weekends; have your gear staged and your plug in before you back down.
  • Always check current tides, wind, and marine forecasts before you launch — Florida afternoons can turn stormy fast.
