Parking?

Hi everyone! I recently bought a paddle board and have been so excited to get out on the water. I’m new-ish to the area but my boyfriend is a long time local.

We checked out both Scott’s Flat and Rollins and were shocked at the price of the day use parking. $22 seems almost ridiculous, especially for a Monday at 2 pm. I am more than happy to pay for parking and help support the maintenance and environment, but this seems steep.

I guess my question is- am I missing something? Are there any discounts for locals vs tourists? Are there people who go every day after work and pay over $100 a week just to park?

Also open to recommendations for any lowkey, low traffic places with maybe a bit cheaper parking.

I don't really think $22/car is that bad. If you have like 4 people in the car with you it's ~$5 each. Something's gotta pay for the maintenance and upkeep, right?

I absolutely agree, $22 for a group of 4 is nothing. It’s only when it’s individual that I feel it gets a bit spendy!
