Does anybody know the cost and where to get an Annual Pass for Ladd's?

It's my understanding you have to go to city hall in Stockton. They do not sell them at the launch site. Unk cost but I would call City Hall

You do have to go to city hall to buy the pass as Buckly's Cove is run by the city. They do offer senior discount if you qualify .

The office isn't always open and some years rerouted to the library. So, you might want to call before you go, to make sure they're open.

Yes, their annual passes go from date of purchase NOT calendar year.

Also, one of the guards in the "tower" told us that "they" were measuring for installation of electronic gates out in front of the boat/trailer parking section as a way to do away with the guard tower and open the park area for free.

Don't know if that is true or not - just something we were told.

If it is true, I am sure costs will be absorbed in to the passes.

Back in the day, before they installed the gate / shack, and started charging. It was extremely shady to say the least, tweakers, drug dealers, and prostitutes ran wild down there. Had to pull the handgun out and set it on the deck a couple times to discourage a few folks from whatever they had planned. I am glad they charge and keep it cleaned up....still seems a little steep, but when you consider having to have an employee there all day I know that adds up. Still better then our local lakes that have an iron ranger and still charge more

+1 for the guard shack
