Tips for Traip Academy Boat Launch

Do the prep in the parking area (drain plug in, straps off, lines and fenders ready), then back down only when it's your turn.
Stop when the boat starts to float at Traip Academy Boat Launch, no deeper, and leave the vehicle in park with the brake set.
When you come back to Traip Academy Boat Launch, winch the boat on instead of power loading, which keeps the end of the ramp intact.
Before you drive off from Traip Academy Boat Launch, remove plants and mud and drain all water to stop invasive species from spreading.
