Tips for Smoot Park Access

Prep in the staging area first, because the less time you spend on the ramp, the happier the line behind you.
Set the parking brake before anyone steps out, even if the ramp at Smoot Park Access looks flat.
When you come back to Smoot Park Access, winch the boat on instead of power loading, which keeps the end of the ramp intact.
Clean, drain and dry your boat and trailer before you leave Smoot Park Access, so invasive mussels and plants don't travel to the next lake.
