Once in the channel, make a left and look for a couple of markers about 1/2 mile up on the right. Turn right with these to the stbd side, and then look to the left. The big marina on the left is Ford YC. Look for markers to channel entrance.
30 seconds total run time once you get out of the Metropark.

Re: Fall Poker Run
Here's directions to Lake Erie Metropark, and Elizabeth Park launches:
Lake Erie Metropark:
Take I-75 to exit 29A, Gibraltar. Stay on Gibraltar Rd for about 5 miles, past Fort St, over 2 sets of RR tracks, to Jefferson. Turn right on Jefferson, stay there for about 3 miles, past High School on right, around a sweeping bend, and look for entrance to Metropark on left. Follow signs for ramp.
Elizabeth Park:
Take I-75 to West Road exit, don't know number, but something like 32, 33. Only one ramp, but once exited, it splits off. Stay towards Grosse Isle/Woodhaven. (going east)
About 1 mile, at Home Depot corner, turn right onto Allen Rd. Just past RR tracks, you turn left onto Van Horn Rd. Take Van Horn Rd past Fort St, past 2 sets of RR tracks, and turn left onto Jefferson (Van Horn dead-ends there).
Immediately after turning left, stay right for a turn onto Grosse Isle Pkwy. Elizabeth Park ramp entrance is on the left, about 1/4 mile down. Don't miss this entrance, because next you'll be going over the bridge to Grosse Isle, and you'll have a whole different set of problems turning around.
I've done both ramps, and I prefer Lake Erie Metropark to Elizabeth. It's just a much bigger facility, 12 ramps vs 4. Ask Elizabeth park if they have room for your rig and trailer... the parking lot is much smaller.
Hope this helps,
Brian

Scott,
Dukenrock is a friend of mine. I'm trying to talk him into running with us on his 382 or riding with me. How much would his club dues be? I might pick them up for him if he brings his ride.
And BTW, thanks for covering my back on the other thread. I appreciate it!
I'm trying to talk Fund Razor into coming, too.

Thanks Donna and Ian.
(I was looking for a different thread and found this.)
