boat launches
Vessel access points
Boat launches are facilities where watercraft can be put into or taken out of the water, typically consisting of a ramp that slopes from dry land into a lake, river, or bay.
They range from simple concrete or gravel inclines at public parks to elaborate marina complexes with multiple lanes, docks, and parking for trailers.
We got to the boat launch before dawn to beat the weekend crowd.
