Fishing at Medicare Point

I was wondering if the gate to Medicare Point will be open this summer after nesting season? It is a great place for us seniors to be able to drive to the lake and not have to pay to fish. The sign says foot trafic is welcome, but it is too far to carry chairs, poles, coolers and such. I should explain Im talking about the gate just past Poison Creek CG on Lake Cascade. Really hope it's going to be open this year.
