didn't know they had a 1/2 price on launch permits for us geezers. how much is that thang and can i order online or have i got to visit one of the offices. i have seen the office at enid and sardis, is there one at butla?? hope to fish the coe lakes often as soon as we get a little break in this weather.
I know that on my disabled "Access Pass" the COE was left out as one of the gov. agencies that could issue them. Here's a link on the "Senior Pass".

If you call the visitors center at Grenada, the sweet lady will tell you what you need. I think she told me the age for 1/2 price is 62 but you need a membership from somebody.
yup, your correct. i just talked to Kay, a very nice lady at the coe office at sardis. here is the deal as i understand it. the normal launch pass is 30 bucks a year, but for seniors pass 62 years old it is 15 bucks, IFFFFFFFFFFF you have some kind of federal national park pass that is 10 bucks for seniors and can be bought at a federal location in oxford. down in oxford often, may try to find that place and go that route. there is a additional charge should you wish to launch your boat prior to reaching the water, just sayin
You can get the discounted Coe permits at Dwayne Hayes camp ground in Columbus. Don't have to be a member of nuthin. I'm sure of this cause my dad ain't gonna join nuthin.
I drove to Forest, MS to get my Access Pass at the Bienville Nat. Forest office. It's good all over the country at National Parks besides the COE discounts. Campsites are half price at all COE campgrounds also.
The Access Pass is what I was talking about. The COE will honor it.Quote:

you can get the pass at oxtord and nader and a lot of places i think over 65 it is $10. and for criples it is free over the years i have got about 8 of them free i loose them i think and they are good for life
Just filled out the form and gonna mail it and have mine before long.
The location in Oxford is the Forest Service lab on Front St. just off the Hwy 6 bypass.If you are coming from Batesville,take the Coliseum dr. exit,turn right at the top of the hill,go to stop sign and turn left.Only business on the street.
