And make boating better in general at the Groveland Mine Recreation
Area in Dickinson County .

Sounds to me like a good idea.

Good news for locals there.
That's one weak point here...the launch ramps are a bit crappy...some only
usable at half or high tide.
This is one of the big reasons I went with a smaller open aluminum
boat....something that can be launched & retrieved singlehanded easily.

i can understand that, Don. If I had to go down some dirt/gravel or
busted up ramp to boat, I just wouldn't boat. That's what I like
about where I go. The AC of E. keep all the ramps and docks in good
shape.

Just get the right boat and the right tow vehicle and you can launch most
places. River jetboaters launch off unimproved ramps and gravel banks all
the time.
