 This is a collection of locations where small and large boats can access the water.  The goal is to provide enough information to answer the question, "is this a place for me to have an outing?"  If the launch ramp won't work, or the access road is not suitable for some vehicles, we should try to convey that information here.  A more subtle and personal question is, "is this the water I want to visit next?"  We will try to at least characterize the water being accessed.  For instance, if this is a pond that fills up with weeds, people will want to know that. This is a collection of locations where small and large boats can access the water.  The goal is to provide enough information to answer the question, "is this a place for me to have an outing?"  If the launch ramp won't work, or the access road is not suitable for some vehicles, we should try to convey that information here.  A more subtle and personal question is, "is this the water I want to visit next?"  We will try to at least characterize the water being accessed.  For instance, if this is a pond that fills up with weeds, people will want to know that.
  
 Each water location gets a separate Wiki page, and they are filed here as lakes, rivers or salt water.   The sidebar, on the left, shows the various access locations that have data.  Click on those links. Each water location gets a separate Wiki page, and they are filed here as lakes, rivers or salt water.   The sidebar, on the left, shows the various access locations that have data.  Click on those links.

-Everyone is encouraged to gather information on access points they are using or near. To add or edit a page, it is necessary to log-in as a registered Wiki Page User (this does not make you a Coot.  You are already a Coot!) If logged-in, you can [[doku.php?id=adding_water_access_page|edit these directly to the Wiki]] in sections like, General, Road Access, GPS location, Launch Ramp, Local Facilities, Boat limitations, and Water characteristics that might be of interest to users.  Missing categories are fine and other users can add to what they see.  A picture of the boat ramp is most valuable.  Any information about the slope of the ramp can be very useful.  But some information beats a blank page, so add what you can.+Everyone is encouraged to gather information on access points they are using or near.

This needs everyone's help.  Thanks for making this work!
