Can you launch a kayak from the VA side of whites ferry? Or do you have to ferry to md then launch? It looks like it would be a doable day float from there down to algonkian. Anyone ever try it?

Use to, but not any more.

Well, legally. Like Tickle says, it ain't illegal until you get caught.

$10 fee to lauch a yak now @ Whites plus the ferry. Good float though.

I've done the float - it's a long day. Bit long for this time of the year, but if you pick your holes & paddle inbetween them, its doable.

PM me if you're looking for a float partner. I can shuttle 2 (or 3) yaks on my car.

Gees, so they 18$ but put a kayak in the river there? Little steep. Point of rocks would make a real long day...

You need to get Penrod's book on the Upper Potomac. There's a bunch of floats you can do in a day.

Don't forget Kephart Bridge Landing on the Goose....that is not in Penrod's book.

Pay for a round trip crossing and launching is free. At least it was this past summer.

I was thinking of launching from Whites Ferry the next time i am able to get out on the yaks... I have heard of a decent whole just above there that supposedly holds good winter smallmouth. Let me know if you decide to go.

I was out a month ago & got billed for the launch & ferry fee.

Although the guy could have been pulling my leg & pockets the fin

I don't know about a winter float trip, but if anyone is thinking about a trip to dickerson I am interested in going.

I would be up for that too! you dont need a boat/kayak for dickerson right? u just fish from shore?

I usually launch a jon boat @ Whites & motor up to Dickerson.

Make sure they are generating power first - otherwise it'll be slow.
