Discovery Bay boat launch

[Greg Jensen]

Has anyone launched there recently? Trying to find info on the web with conflicting results. The Port Townsend site says $10 launch fee (is there a box there to drop it in?) while the WDFW website says that motorized boats aren't allowed (which makes no sense...)

I haven't launched there for a few months, but there has never been a box or a sign and I have never paid so not sure how sure of how or if they are collecting. If there is no sign don't think they could really write you a ticket.

Have no idea what the no motorized boats allowed is all about as that is all that launches there are motorized.

This is IF we are talking about the launch in Gardiner, which is the only public launch ramp I know of there.

Yep, Gardiner. Thanks

Gardiner uses a discover pass, $10 per day or $30 per year. There is a "discover pass required" sign near where the road first comes close to the road (or used to be).

Its a WDFW ramp, no restrictions on motors that I've ever seen. The ramp isn't great though.
