If you are coming from MoVal you can easily go to either end of the lake to launch. Main St. offramp for the new city owned ramp. It is much closer to Coors Cove but if you obey the ski pattern you need to head west before going east. Proceed with caution. Or you can go to the west end and use Elsinore West Marina. Very flat ramp but very slick in the summer. DON"T back in further than you have to if you don't have 4WD. This is a campground with store, showers, and a large parking lot. Beware the Ramp Nazi in the golf cart. Just do whatever he says and no one will get hurt LOL. Its his world and we just boat in it.
In the summer you never know how the lake will be staffed with Sheriffs and volunteers that love to find reasons to dial the "bat phone" and have you hassled at the docks by guys with badges. Although usually when you see the volunteer pontoon, it is because they are pulling your broke ass float back in. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em I guess.
It is my understanding that "the speed zone" is now only open upon request kinda thing. I believe it is only during the week, and you have to get clearance or a pass or some shit. They talked about a lot of different things a few back, can'r remember exactly. Regardless, it is out in the very center of the lake and well marked. Look both ways before crossing is good advice here. Have a good time, just pretend it is Mexico, and don't drink the water.
