East Public Launch Ramp (Carol Morrison) — Local services in Big Bear Lake

It was better than I expected. Couldnt park inside due to Covid-19 but was able to park along side the hwy which wasnt hectic n tight people literally bumper to bumper.

Gwen and Sam were so sweet and pleasant. Make sure your boat does not drip one drop of water when you start it for the permit inspection. 75 bucks for a hot water flush. Insane.

Matt was passive aggressive, rude, very sarcastic, and had zero knowledge of water fittings to flush the engine. He couldn’t have a conversation with my boyfriend who was knowledgeable about boats and finally came out with a bucket of fittings and dropped the bucket at the other 2 girls’ feet who worked there and went inside and stopped helping us. Horrible experience. He made us feel very...
