What the page describes

DCR’s Staunton River State Park page describes a Buggs Island Special Pass covering boat launching and parking at Staunton River and Occoneechee state parks. The same returned page contains low-water launch warnings.

Check before towing

The excerpt’s crawl was four weeks old, so it does not confirm today’s ramp conditions. A pass description and an operational warning answer different questions.

Check the intended launch with the park before travel; this article does not confirm pass availability, a usable ramp or a reservation.
