Options: boat ramp location

To identify suitable boat ramp locations, a field investigation was completed. The investigation included a water depth (bathymetric) survey of 650 m of shoreline. As part of the survey, observations were made of submerged tree stumps, lakebed material composition and aquatic vegetation. The map below describes the advantages and disadvantages of four alternatives that were first considered. Of these four alternatives, two were considered viable based on depths and field observations, and one alternative is preferred due to the ability to consider a pathway to a potential lookout.

Below is a conceptual drawing showing how a boat ramp might look for Alternative 3. The drawing shows the various elements of the project, including a pathway to a lookout, an open waterfront lawn area with a picnic table in the shade of the existing trees, and water access features, including a turnaround for trailers and a parking area.
