It's a boat ramp in the middle of the week. There was no traffic on land or sea. $5 for residents and $10 for out of county residents. Not bad on price but why should in county residents have to pay anything. How much does it take to finance the parks department. I understand charging outsiders, but the residents. Is that $5 so important that radishes have to pay to use their own property. However, City of Wilson wifi avaliable on the lake. I must admit I was a little impressed. I see you over there Greenlight. It sure won't Century Link.
