Is there a resort or other service close to Cove Bay or Indian Point where I can launch my boat this summer? Don't want to do the public accesses.

Eddy's would be the place. They're located right off of 169 between Indian Point and Cove, pretty much right in Vineland Bay.

I second eddy's nice deep launches and a fair amount of parking. Really close to Indian Point, and not too far from cove. The Red Door is a long long ways from where you wanna be.

I would never use Eddy's for the same reason I would never go to the Casino.

I use Terry's, nice ramp with a protected harbor. If you have a smaller boat then maybe Eddy's might be the choice.

The guy asked a simple question and this is no place to start an "Indian" debate. Oh yeah, use Terry's and when you go inside to pay, you can see all the pics of the dead muskies on the wall. Too funny.

Jonesi stole the words right from my mouth..lol.. Eddys resort is fine, I always launch my boat at the public landing across from the casino, I have a 20' fiberglass and did not have any problems last year and with the water levels up again, do not expect any problems this year. As for theft and vandalism, well it can happen anywhere and anyplace, I have yet to have any problems anywhere..

I launch at Eddys as well. But PLEASE repair those docks. The docks are seriously falling apart and I don't think it would hold a child on some of those bad spots. I wish they would take better care and do a little maintenance before someone gets hurt. That is not meant to bash the natives by the way. I am just really concerned every time I go by the loading docks.

Eddy's is nice. On the northwest side of the lake there are many different resorts and public launches.

Baby Mallard-

They were out repairing the docks this last weekend for the walleye opener.
