So far, we think that this is the most popular launch spot on the lake. We haven't covered the…read morewhole lake yet but, so far, that is the way it looks. It cost $5 cash to launch here. They have year round passes but they aren't economical for the summer boater. The ramp is very, very good and can handle up to four launches at a time though most often people are more comfortable with three at a time. Launching here is an art form. Except for the occasional idiot or jerk, people launch and trailer here with amazing speed and efficiency. I have only once seen one guy (with a boat that cost more than my house) take up a spot for 45 minutes because it wouldn't start. So it does happen. But this is not a place to practice launching. Know what you are doing and "get er done". This place is always hopping. Usually there is plenty of trailer parking but sometimes, like holidays, you may end up parking your trailer on the grass. If you are in a car, please do not take up a trailer space with your subcompact. Arghhh! That is soooo frustrating. The only down side to launching at Highport is there is an extremely long no-wake zone getting out of the marina and the gas dock bites compared to Buncombe's. Still, there's lots of neat things to see as you make it through the no-wake zone. People have "done up" their slips with bars and kitchens and artwork. I am in awe of the huge boats moored here. As for gassing up, it is a self serve pump and you have to pay first and then fight other boaters for the hose. Well, you have to sit and stew when some other boater jumps in front of you even though it was obvious that you were next up. Also, we like to go out on a wave runner and Highport only has a platform for jet skis with two spaces and, on a busy weekend, will take up the spaces with rental jet skis. I highly recommend launching here and popping over to Buncombe marina to gas up.

Highport Marina is just that too high... Paying 900 a month for a 40ft slip is ridiculous and…read moreeverything else is high there too
