General Description: The ramp is used extensively especially on summer weekends by waterskiers. This often results in a short wait to use the ramp, however due to the size of the ramp and the facilities provided the wait isn't ever really excessive, especially when respect is given to other users and you only use 'your' space on the ramp. For inexperienced people reversing trailers it can be a little difficult due to a stand of trees directly in front of the ramp, which hinders your reversing approach, however with patience and care it can be easily managed.
