Bolles Harbor has good launch but the big problem is it is a MI DNR launch site the DNR will not allow overnight parking. (at least as of last year) Lately Ian and I launch out of the Erie Metro Park and head over from there. However that being said we plan on taking a chance this Thursday and launch there to head to Toledo for two nights so we can join up with LEOPA for the the fireworks on Friday. Ian thinks if we get a ticket it will be cheaper then towing to Toledo and launching at Minkies.
Has anyone tried leaving their rig over night at Bolles I can't imagine they would tow the truck and 43' trailer.
Who plans on doing the LEOPA thing on Friday?

Elizabeth Park, just south of Trenton, on the road to Grosse Isle, has a great ramp and good security.
But if I was you and the date is the important factor in your weekend, I would go ahead and drive out to the state park on Cataba Island. Cross the pretty new bridge in Toledo and follow Hiway 2 around.
Woah is the man who has to make the run back back to Detroit on Sunday in 8 to 10's with a slight hangover.
Use the gas saved to go to Kelly's and Sandusky Bay...you will enjoy your weekend a lot more.
On Erie, it's better to want to boat, then have to boat, on some days.

Hey guys,
Ive never been to put in bay and would like to head down mid August with a couple buddies and their boats (my 28' Saber, a 35 Cafe Racer, and a 40' Fountain). From reading, for the most part you raft off the city docks/channel, right? If that were the case, is it safe to leave your boat there overnight while you stay somewhere in town, ie one of the Island Club rentals. Would head over to the island early Friday morning and spend the weekend. Just wondering what to expect, ANY info/advice would be much appreciated.
Oh ya, forgot to mention, it is for a bachelor party
. Thanks, MIKE

Thats kind of what i am trying to figure out. I have never benn down in that area before, do most people come out of Port Clinton? We dont mind a little bit of a ride, anything closer to MI is good. What would you recommend. We are leaving Bay City MI area that Friday and would like to get to the Island before noon so we have a good chance at being able to raft up together. Bay City is about 3 hours from Port Clinton.
