Boat Launch Fees
Everyone must either purchase a daily boat launch ticket or a seasonal pass. Both may be purchased from the kiosk in the parking lot. Daily passes are printed at the kiosk and should be put in the dash of the vehicle pulling the boat trailer; seasonal hang tags must be obtained from the host by presenting the receipt from the kiosk. The hang tag needs to be hung in the vehicle pulling the boat trailer however, you may use multiple trucks or pull multiple trailers with the same hang tag. Write in either the trailer(s) or truck(s) license numbers that you will be using for the season.
Daily Pass: $6
Seasonal Pass: $50
New 'Keys' for the Boat Slips
Our docks are now locked for entry using the VizPin technology (exiting the docks does not require a key). For those of you who have reserved a boat slip or plan to reserve a boat slip, you will need to request access. Please follow the steps below to request access for The Silos Boat Slips. Once your account is set up and access is requested, you will be granted access for the dates of your stay. If you have requested access before, you will not need to do so again. When you make your reservation, we will turn on access to the docks for the duration of your stay.
