Winter Island Access

CaptT820 · 01-28-2019, 12:57 PM

All-
I brought this up as a topic a couple of years ago and got mixed responses. What is the best way to legally access the islands in Alton (Sleepers and Rattlesnake)? I don't wan't to go through West Alton Marina due to construction and no tresspassing signs (I want to respect the private property as I use the launch a lot in the summer).

I know awhile back, others mentioned using the Rattlesnake Island launching area, but there may be problems with parking there. Can anyone give me an update on this?

Just looking for legal ways to access the islands without violating anyone's private property.

Thanks
