    Default Poll - Annual State Park boat launch/fishing fees?


    It was suggested to me by the honorable MooseIam to start this thread,
    How much does it cost in your home state for an annual pass?
    In MS, it is : annual, under age 65 - boat launch/fishing, $80
    boat launch/skiing, $100 :D
    daily boat launch/fishing is $7, skiing $10
    I have not had one of these since they were $50, has not been that long
    ago. Geez, they are insane! They should clean fish and have free hot dogs
    for that. And hold your boat while you park. You can get in to mountain bike
    or ride your horse for $30 annually - this just ain't cricket. But we have
    never been known for good state laws. Chaps me too, the two places I
    launch in AL and TN are FREE And how the highway turns to potholes
    as soon as you cross the state line coming this way. But it is home, still
    like it I guess. I was just talking this weekend too, about how a traveling
    sportsman in this area gets hammered, At one time, I had MS resident,
    AL and TN non-resident, and Bear Creek Development Authority licence/passes at once. We have reciprocal agreements with TN/AL,
    but they don't extend very far up or down the lake (Pickwick) Also, if
    you fish some of the Nat'l Forest lakes, that is a whole 'nother can of worms,
    they are Federal, with their own fees, as is the Tenn-Tom and the big
    watershed reservoirs, (Army Corps), another SEPERATE yearly pass.

    Most of the lakes in Missouri are owned by the Corps of Engineers, so you can buy a annual pass for $30 or $40 I cant remember for sure. Or 3 dollars each day u use the ramp. We also have a few ramps that are owned by the Dept of conservation/Dept of natural resources and those ramps are free. Since we all pay for them with a 1/2 cent local sales taxs. And Lake of the ozarks most ramps are private and you have to pay each time running between 5 and 10 bucks.

    Unless you go in to the National Forest around here it is free to use except for some of the private ramps that TVA has sold to people.
    If in doubt, cross their eyes!!

    Ohio - no park or launch fee. Fishing license is $19.00.
    The state house wanted to implement a daily use fee of $5.00 ($25.00 annual) this year since the state parks are in a mess, but that got shot down. We supported it since the state won't fund the parks and expect them to somehow maintain themselves. Paying a fee beats heck out of having the state parks chained shut like they were in the 1970's. - Roberta

    Public Illinois ramps are free. Most city lakes get a fee based on horse power. Ski lice pay double.

    Tn free here. But hit MS and the one I used to use it now $2 per day. So I save the 5 mile drive an put in at the free ramp at Tn state line and idle over near the pay ramp to fish.

    Last one I bought was $25, but I am disabled so they give me a break. I have not had one in a few years because i have not been using that lake.

    Oh yeah, I am in Texas.
