Before you launch at Bent Road Access
- At Bent Road Access, have the boat fully rigged before it's your turn on the ramp.
- Back the trailer into the water at Bent Road Access only as far as needed to float the boat.
- When you come back to Bent Road 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 Bent Road Access, so invasive mussels and plants don't travel to the next lake.
