lots of people park on the road and walk onto the ice, and lots of room to park where the ski doo trail heads across the river, just a short walk from there to the mouth of buckhams bay which is a good spot

boat launch

they did some work on the Buckhams bay launch last, not sure what they did. We need a floating dock for sure. As for local input, I live three houses from the launch and I'm pretty sure no one asked me how to build it !
