The existing ramp is extremely narrow and short and in poor condition. Despite its poor condition, the ramp was heavily used for fishing, hunting and ecological tours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PROJECT SUMMARY:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0The project consisted of widening and lengthening the ramp, removing the existing asphalt and replacing it with concrete, and constructing a small courtesy dock so that boats can be safely boarded, loaded, and unloaded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BENEFITS:<\/strong>\u00a0 The boat ramp and dock now accommodates more hunters, fishermen, and ecological tourists.
