A new gated entry to the boat ramp ensures everyone pays
their fair share, but more importantly provides a reliable
funding source to maintain and improve the park. Until the
gate was installed, the honor system for launches did not
raise enough funds to provide even basic maintenance.
The residential fee for launching private watercraft at the
park’s ramp remains $10 per launch -- $5 to launch and $5
to retrieve their boats. An annual pass of $150 allows for
unlimited residential launches. Businesses using the boat
ramp for any commercial purpose pay an annual user fee
of $750 annually for an unlimited access pass.
