- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.

Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
