Warning for Pontoon Loading on Lower Post Lake Isle of Pines Landing
There have been issues with large bunk trailers and cantilever trailers backing off the end of the concrete ramp on the Lower Post Lake Isle of Pines Landing. The ramp is 30 feet long, but there is only 23 feet from the water’s edge to the end of the ramp. There is a hole at the end of the concrete. If you have an aforementioned trailer, it is advisable to use the new South Shore Landing on Upper Post Lake. The Isle of Pines landing will be a topic on the agenda at the next quarterly Post Lake Protection and Rehabilitation Meeting.
