Winter Harbour Trip - Boat Launch Options

[High Velocity]

We'll be heading to Winter Harbour for the first time on July 20th with my wife's cousin's 30' Wellcraft. Would we be better going to Coal Harbour or Port Alice to launch ? Also looking for secure parking for his truck & trailer. Thanks in advance for any info.............Ken

IMO I have fished WH for 17 years now and the cole harbour ramp is the only one I use to launch a large boat. Launching is ok at almost any tide but recovering
I need at least a 4 ft tide or my trailer wheels drop off the pavement and I worry about a blown tire pulling up over the lip. There is no floating dock beside the ramp -so for a big boat somebody needs to drive the boat on. Don't know what is at Port alice. Parking can be a bit of a bear-there are locked compounds-I don't know about those-I don't use them-Just the Parking Joe supplies which may mean a bit of a walk. In 17 years never had anything touched while I was away.

Go to coal harbour, the new wharf is not ready in port Alice. Unless you want to use your swim grid to get on and off your boat.

A little off topic, but does anyone know the hours of the gas depot
, and how much is the boat gas at Coal Harbour?
