Boat loop questions - OKW to DD

[PaulaMurf]

OK -

For those of you who have taken the DD boat from OKW after the opening of SSR- what is the loop?

and - does it run more frequently now that SSR is open?

and - can I walk from the SSR boat dock to the SSR pool, or is it easier to drive there from OKW??

TIA

Unless it's recently changed, the boat from OKW stops first at DD and then hits SSR on it's return to OKW.

Walking from the marina is a little farther than driving to SSR/parking and then walking to the pool. The distance from the dock is about 400 yards and about 200 yards from the parking area at SSR.

The boat runs hourly from 11am until 4PM and then every 30 minutes from 4PM until 11PM.

Enjoy!

Since you are going during the pool rehab you also have the option of taking the SSR ferry. OKW is currently running the DTD boat that stops at DTD and SSR as stated starting at 11am through 4pm on the hour and from 4pm until 11pm on the hour and the half hour... BUT if you are just going to SSR there is a seperate boat that is running, provided by the recreation department that is just for SSR for the pool. It starts running at 9:30am... from 9:30-11am it is on demand (you would go to Hank's rentals and ask for a ride and they will take you). After 11am they are about every 20 minutes all day and go just to SSR and back.

What is the transit time from OKW to DTD (ball park is fine)? Staying at OKW for the first time in March/April and have been trying to plan out PS' etc.

Thanks for any info.

Thanks for this - its exactly our plan. I heard that there was something being done with the kids play area at SSR - is it open do you know?
Thanks again.

Last night about 10 p.m. we took the boat from DTD to OKW. It stopped at SSR on the way to OKW. We just missed the 6:30 p.m. boat that left OKW, so we took the bus to DTD.
