That's GOOD news. She will get a thank you call from me tomorrow. I can imagine what a jam the east side county launch/parking lot would be on weekends as the season progresses.

The docks were going in today. They were half done when I left the point this afternoon.

I spoke with Ms Martillotta this afternoon and she was most appreciative of my big THANK YOU. Seems Orleans County will be running the west side state launch. Restrooms will be open with normal operation of launch per Ms Martillotta. She is unsure about launch fees at the present time. Thanks for your part in this Skip19. We've been using the west side launch for the last 10 years and prefer the ample parking. If any of you guys use that launch it might be a good idea to take a minute to make a thank you call to show support.

This is GOOD NEWS for sure! Glad Orleans County is stepping up to open this facility. To me one of the best launch sites on the west end of the lake. Would have been a shame if state left it locked up this year. I'll send a note of thanks to them.

Does anyone know if the Wilson (Tuscarora State park) launch is open?

Are there any good options in Wilson other than the park launch?

[skipper19]

Last I knew the village of Wilson was going to keep the park open but I have no conformation on this.

I sent this letter back to the planning office as soon as I got the reply to my question.

Dear Jeanne

Thank you very much for the answer, I am very pleased with the efforts of our county officials to help maintain the tourism and interests of all who benefit from the marine parks. Your assistance will be relayed to all concerned who enjoy the parks!

My sincere appreciation,

Mark Schuman

Here is a copy of an email I received from the Orleans County Tourism Director, Wayne Hale

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Wednesday The Orleans County Legislature signed a permit from the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation allowing the county to operate the Oak Orchard State Boat Launch on the west side of Oak Orchard River. The launch and parking lot will be open Friday the 30th for the LOC Spring Fishing Derby under county operation. We will

be responsible for maintaining the grounds and restrooms.

At this time, there will be no charge for launching/parking. However,

shortly, we will be installing an autocashier machine accepting credit

cards (no cash). There will be no lift gate. Launching/parking fee

will likely be $5.00. This will be on the honor system, enforced by our

County Sheriff Department and Marine Patrol, and backed up with a fine

for non-payment. The parking area closes at 11pm each night so there is

no overnight parking.

If you have any questions please contact me (bear with us as we feel our

way into this operation- the devil is always in the details). Thank

you.
