I launch from Otisco Lake Campground and Marina. It is on otisco valley road on the south end, I go there because I can get a slip and a cabin for 4 for the weekend for 160 dollars. Launch is $9 but if you get a $10 slip launch is free if your staying over. They have tent and rv camping also. Ill be headed up friday morn about 430. Ill let you know how I make out.
