The picture above

Picture of Access Point - A picture is really important. It should show the overall layout of the ramp or beach including local docks. If everything shows from the approach to the water that is great. If two pictures are needed, that is fine. Do not put big images here. A width of about 640 pixels is generally adequate.

If possible, an image of a map showing the access point and associated park or the like goes here. One of the best sources, that is open to use, is Open Street Maps. If you crop the map image, be sure you leave the credit that appears at the bottom. Again, try to keep the map image to around 640 pixels.

Also, include driving instructions here, if needed. If a turn-off is hard to locate, a few words could be valuable. Any special instructions such as freeway exit numbers can go here.

Water Character

The ramp is of average slope and may not be adequate for some boats, such as sailboats with keels.  During the low water portion of the summer, check that there is enough water, especially at low tide.

This can't cover everything. But, if the lake is drained in the winter, put it here. Is there a big stump at low water? Maybe, the weeds grow in to the access area in summer? That sort of information directly affects the decision to use the access point.
