I haven't been out on a Sunday morning in a while, but I think that Captree is open now. I'm pretty sure they stopped collecting fees after Columbus Day weekend.

I just called the Captree boat basin and unfortunately they indicated that the parking fees are in effect until the last Sunday in November, the 25th. Seems like they are charging later & later and getting greedy. So it looks like the OBI if that is open this Sunday.

Just got back from Captree this morning. It was really crowded. Nobody was at the OBI and the gates were open. They weren't charging at Captree and a few people indicated that they have stopped. Ignore my previous post on the charge. So it looks like it will be Captree on Sundays for the next several months.

Thanks for the update. I checked with my friend who told me that they stopped charging after Columbus Day and he is standing by that.

I may be on LI with my Z06 this Sunday and hope to get to Captree. I haven't been to Captree in over 20 years and I can't remember if there is one parking lot or more? Where and what time do you guys get there and how long does everyone hang out? Can someone get me up to speed on Captree? Thanks.
