I have never tried Carlsbad lagoon. What frwy offramp do I take? Is there a launch ramp? ..Parking or launching fee?..Hours of operation? Thanks, Wayne

Wayne it is between Cannon and Tamarak off the I-5. You can launch off of Bayshore Drive. You supposedly need a permit for the city, but I've heard it isn't actively enforced.

I'll hopefully be practicing out there this weekend.
