Dan , I always keep my boat on the trailer and go to whatever ramp we intend to fish. You get a free ramp pass when staying at the park that can only be used at the park. I just booked the lodge for early March this year . Have an annual trip with about 10 of us. Some large crappie are always caught at that time period. Bluestone Creek was hot last year giving up multiple 3 lb fish. Caught my personal best 3.5 lb there last year. Help you anyway I can. FB
