I had to use the boat launch at Sampson. It was really the best I ever used! The textured ramp was great, my truck, and I had great traction to easily pull my boat out of the water! The attendant at the ramp helped get me on the trailer and tied down! The marina is absolutely spotless with plenty of car/truck & trailer parking. Ramp use is $8 if you don't have a season pass. I highly recommend it!
