Its much closer from Pleasant point or Long beach if your driving from the south. Pleasant point is free. Gravel launch with no docks though. Long beach has a good launch, but you have to pay, and get a key, and return it.....I gave up on that one. Its only a 5 mile run from Pleasant point to the river to Fenelon.
I'm not sure you can launch at whychwood anymore either........can someone confirm this? Last time I went there, there was nobody home.........wasted a lot of my time.
