Scusset Beach - access to canal

The wind and weather for ole Rhody are not looking so hot so I am planning to make my virgin vist to the canal early tomorrow morning.
My only guide is Daignault's Hot Spots Book and it looks like the east end at Scusset is my best bet.
I'm not looking for spots or inside tips, I am just wondering if I can park and have canal access at 2-3am at Scusett. Thoughts?
If you have any advice, please pm me. Im fishing plugs and jigs, no chunks for me.
Thanks

Just drive slow thru there. I dont know if its changed, but usually no problems driving in at night.... I was there till midnight last week, not even a whisper by rangers in my direction...

I was toying with the idea of going tonight... but might hit another spot on the canal instead... wasnt much going on last week when I was there.

The other reason to drive slow is, dere be some Bambis in dem woods and hitting one won't do your front end very much good.

do you have to pay to park in there after hours? i usually ride my cruiser from the sagamore parking area below the bridge. last fall i never had to pay to get in but there was a guy in the gate house this summer.

Everything is better on the rocks.

i think you have to pay during daylight hours when the beach is open. at night justy drive straight by guard shack until you hit the parking lot for the beach, turn right, drive a couple hundred yards and you're there. bring lots of jigs and bug spray. enjoy.

no signature required.

Don't have to pay after about 3 or 4 PM, and they don't start collecting again till 8 or 9 AM.
