Lower Prior that is.....(meaning downstream, since the water goes from Spring, to Upper Prior, then to Lowewr Prior)

....not "south Prior".

So is the access on the upper lake the only other access on prior? With the forecasted weather for monday I'm not too worried about it being crowded, but I have a small boat and would prefer to fish/launch in the lower lake.

Hwy 13 south to 170th. Go right to Dewitte Ave and go right again. It is called upper Prior, but it is the south western body of the lake.

Actually if it were worse, maybe it would be less popular with the pleasure boat crowd grin

you have a point there. But i dont think alot of the people would go to the south end being there is no parking there.

unless you are one of the lucky "8" that get a spot.

Good ice fishing off that south end launch on first ice. Just a hint for you guys.
