Can you still launch a trailered boat without getting into trouble stuck, etc? thinking about a really early launch in dark on friday am. Thanks for info in advance

You still can, but you might get stuck, all depending on the boat.
In my opinion I would advise against it
As of last Friday water lever was almost as low as last summer/fall.

The ramp itself is useless at this point.
If you launch from the land area next to the ramp, you might be okay. Dozens of people do it everyday.
It may take a while and involve cursing and frustration, but I haven't seen anybody not be able to do it.

you could still launch last fall/winter, off to the sides drops pretty good, but it is steep and you will def have ur rear tires in the water. I used to just stick the truck in 4x4 and launch that way, but you have to beach the boat OR get wet to get in it. It sucks if you have a new boat or a nice one that your trying to not scratch lol
I dont get why they just dont pin one of the docks to the edge of water so you can at least get in the boat and not get wet or hurt, big guys and older folks have a hard time climbing into/outta boats and Ive seen a nasty fall last year onto the rocks

On top of the boat launching situation I think the brid bite is weird, got skunked there last week and didn't see anyone catching.

Was there on Tuesday evening and saw a few people launch and load using the ramp and the area next to the ramp. Water is very low.

Whenever the boat launch gets precarious, I always think about this guy.
I don't know who he is, but he became a legend at Round Valley Reservoir after he sunk his van.
Or maybe that's his father standing next to him and it was his father's van. I wouldn't want to make that call. "Um, Dad...I lost the van. In the water...".
