What about some launch and other fees?

OK, the CBBT will cost ya $20 one way for the car/boat. Car is $12 one way. If ya return within 12 hours, ya get $7 off, but not for the boat. That was easy, I think, if I got it right.

The Kiptopeke launch is a Virgina State park and covered by a daily launch fee. $8 weekend and $7 weekdays for VA residents. NC residents purchasing a VA license qualify for the VA resident rate. The special $11 for a week day and $12 for a weekend is for MD residents. Will Carpenter reports that an annual launch pass for Kiptopeke at the park office is $97 for under 65 and $79 for seniors. Get it in December and ya get two Decembers. Good deal is ya ask me. Lanny Parrott provided additional information, so hopefully all is now correct.

However, I have a handicap placard that allows parking free at any state park. Unfortunately, it doesn't include launching. OK, for $44, ya can get an annual launch pass that applies to ALL state parks in VA. Included Kiptopeke and Kerr.

For those using the Corp of Engineers facilities on Kerr, a $10 lifetime national parks pass will qualify ya for 1/2 price launches. Still better, if ya go to the Dam or Longwood offices, ya can get an annual pass for $15.

So, for $60 a year I get all my fishing launch fees taken care of. Well almost! Cape Charles and the Fisherman's Island launch are not state and may cost near $15. Check it out before ya leave yer trailer on the lot.

Hope this helps.
