We launch in Wetumpka 90% of the time. It is a very good ramp, deep water. One word of caution on your trip. At the intersection of the Coosa and Tallapoosa which becomes the Alabama River it is VERY shallow. The channel is not marked. It's called Parker's Island, I believe. This is about 5-7 minutes down river from the launch. The way we navigate this area is to stay exact middle until you see the sandbar on your left...there's one on your right, too. It usually has cows standing there. Once you get to the middle of the sandbar on your right, there's a tree that overhangs...aim for that. If you stay too far left, you'll beach. Once you pass that, turn slight left and head straight for another 100 yards or so. After that, you can continue middle cruising.
So basically at that area, hug the shoreline about 10 feet out to your right and you should be fine.
We can't run as fast as the big boats, we can inly hit about 55 or so, but if you need a guide for that area, post the launch time and we can help you guys navigate.
Oh...FYI...Lee, the water patrol, usually launches from there. He hangs out in "coves" kind of hidden, waiting for boats to cite.
