We have a place at the end of the driveway that would be great to launch a boat. However, we found out that once the boat is launched you need a toe vechicle to get the vechicle out of the sand. However down the beach about 50' there is no problem except for the cottages in the way. So it depends on several factors. If the beach (dry part) is hard, or just a little soft perhaps that will not be a problem. Also they type of boat launched will need different depts of water. so be careful. oh yeah, when you launch your boat, before you get out of your car set your car in park. We seen a caddie launch a little row boat with a motor and take off in the boat, When he came back his car was gone, and the boat ended up on the roof of the caddie. Caddies do not float when driven into lake W.
