Float Tube Launching at Puddingstone

[vortec_cruiser]

I was under the impression that you had to launch a float tube in sailboat cove. However, reading the Bonelli Park website (http://www.bonellipark.org/Pictures/NonPwrRules09.pdf), it states the following:

It is the owner/operator’s responsibility to obtain a launch permit prior to launch.
All non-power boats must be inspected and issued a permit. Launch permits are available at the
power boat launch area and at the sailboat cove entrance gate. Boats which can be carried by
hand can be launched along any shoreline except swim beach, ski beach or the R.V. park beach.

So, anyplace beside the three beach areas mentioned are fair game. Others may already be aware of this, but I was not.

Thanks for posting the regulations. But, reading the rest of the regulations, the area for tubes are limited to only "Float tubes are limited to the sailboat cove and the buoyed area westward." If you stick with this regulation, it makes sense to launch in or near this area. I also found this Launch Regulations

I'm going to check into this further.
