I know, we take care of that(put the docks, clean the park and ramps), i work for the recreation department (parks,Arenas etc...) of the city, last time i had a chat with my boss about the subject prices weren't suppose to go up though, its opening next week for sure, don't know if the docks will be in, it all depends on the water level. I also worked There last summer for about a month before i got in full time @ the city, i also think prices are exagerated, and please guys it's not the attendants fault if the prices are high, man some people are rude.Hi Ben,
You're right as that's last years pricing. There meeting was this week and the pricing I posted is the 2005 pricing and the website needs to be updated. Also, the ramps have not been put in yet as the water is too high but they're expected in by next friday.

Please excuse my ignorance and also age (old and drifty). Been hitting a number of different locations on the Ottawa both east and west of the city for approximately the last 8-10 years now and sometimes get confused. I believe its Wendover that we've hit the last couple of years and Rockland before that. Even hit the launch ramp at the next town east of Wendover last year, can't remember the name. Looking forward to our trip this year and I'll be sure to avoid the Rockland ramp.

Wendover is free and a fantastic ramp to boot.I believe its Wendover that we've hit the last couple of years and Rockland before that. Even hit the launch ramp at the next town east of Wendover last year, can't remember the name.
Next town over = Hawksbury (unless someone knows of one closer).

launch fees at Rockland
HEY
$30.00 for the season for olfarts over 60....................Yippeee. I finally catch a break
Where is Rockland
OH...............wayyyyyyyyy down by Ottywa.............Nah, I'll stick with the good ol Rideau..........$90.00 for the season for 3 launches and they'll stick it to ya no matter how old you are.
But, you gotta go and come during office hours, otherwise deadbeats are parked in the trailer turn around and every other no parking zone, and get real nasty
when asked to move their cars. You could go fishin and come back to 4 flat tires; even if you ask them nicely.
Just one more reason I'm seriously thinking of selling the outfit and sticking with the canoe. Too much hassel
Ah well.............some folks could suck the joy out of Christmas
Lots of free launches around, and thats a good thing
So much for the vent
