Comments

The edge protection is only on the inner edges where you would board your boat on the launch. The outer edge that you may board a larger boat does not have edge protection. There is no edge protection on the ramp portion of the gangway.The launch is an EZ Launch with two steps and a sliding transfer board. No overhead bar or straps. Slope does depend on water level at the time. Gangway did have a gap from sidewalk which DEC staff are looking into fixing.
