I am interested in launching at rock lake out by cheney but am a little nervous about the unimproved launch I was wondering if anybody with a glass boat could give me some pointers, I have a center console tri hull and that center hull reaches pretty far down and I definatly dont want to tear it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks...D

I have launched there once and if my memory serves me, you shouldn't have a problem. Launch in the creek. There is a greater slope to back down but you should be ok as long as there is no snow or ice on the launch. I can't speak to the depth at that end of the lake though, my jet runs a little more shallow than your boat. Good luck and let us know how it goes

Rock Lake's launch is tough. If your boat hangs real low, you could indeed have troubles.
I advise that you wear a pair of waders and wade the spot out first to determine your problems. I have heard many a boat trailer drag as people back in or pull out. In fact, Easy Loader and I are on a first name basis with all of the repair parts I have purchased for my trailer.
Just don't step off the drop off - the launch ends with a cliff drop straight down.
I still won't stop fishing it.
