When and how will I receive my refund?
Your refund check will be written and mailed within 30 days from the date your boat leaves the marina. Please make sure that the address we have for you is where you want to the check to be mailed.
What is the fee to use the launch ramp, and is my annual pass accepted?
The fee to use the launch ramp is $10 per day, $25 for commercial use. The fee is not 24 hours pass, it's for the day only. The annual passes are strictly for Corps operated parks and therefore not accepted at marinas.
The ramp is open to tenants only on Fridays through Sundays from May through September. Visitors can use the ramp Monday through Thursday during these months.

Any payment received after the 10th of the month, there will be a finance charge of 1.5% monthly added to your account. After 30 days, your lease will be terminated and you will have to leave the marina.

Fishing within the marina boundaries while in a boat is allowed, just as long as you don't get near the docks. Fishing from the docks is prohibited unless you are tenant of Bald Ridge Marina.
Am I allowed to bring my own fuel to my boat?
Yes and no. You may bring your own fuel (via gas cans, etc) for your boat, but you must be at the fuel dock in order to do so. No one will judge you, especially with the rising costs! The fuel dock has the necessary equipment to handle a spill or accident while you fuel your boat with your own fuel. Just let the fuel dock crew know you're filling your boat with your own fuel so they are aware.
