Where to launch and park trailer at LOTO?

It is a nice area, you can launch the boat tie it to the dock, go park the trailer and have her drop you back at the boat. Then all she has to do is drive the truck to Robins. We did that for years before we bought down there.
If Ed is around that is a nice thing for him to do as well. He is nice and close to the park.

The nice thing about LOTO is the majority of the boats are here full time and have their own docks to park at. So weekender/travelers are a very small percentage of boats that are ramped in on a weekend. Thus, it is generally no big deal at all to launch or park. The exclusion to this is a holiday weekend or BIG event weekend. This is still a short wait compared to many lakes! Just a side note, if there is a Bass Tournament going on, they will set up at the "Store" area of PB2, So at that ramp there will be more congestion.
When you come into PB2 area, there is 2 launch areas, Pha Ha Tsi and the regular PB2 (park store) there is a Y in the road just as you enter and Pha Ha Tsi is to the left. Store area to the right.
Personally, We always used the ramp away from the store, there is substantially more room to work and park plus less traffic. If you are going to be there more than 2 days, you will need to get a parking tag from the store, it is cheap! And they have a trailer only area to park the trailer as well. There is Park Rangers that cover the area, thus security is good.
Have a great time, enjoy our lake!!!!!

I launched at the one on the right in that picture and had no issues making it down that road. My boat is 13'5" tall on the trailer. Even shootout weekend there was hardly anyone at that ramp but a few fishermen. Not hectic at all
