Good to know
How much does it cost to use a boat launch ramp?
Daily usage fees range between $5 and $25 at most public and private facilities. Annual launch passes typically cost $50 to $150. State-managed DNR launches may require a state park vehicle pass or a regional waterway permit instead of a per-launch fee.
What is the difference between a public DNR launch and a private marina ramp?
Public DNR (Department of Natural Resources) launches are state-maintained sites with basic amenities like courtesy docks and parking lots. Private marina launches charge higher daily rates but frequently provide additional services such as freshwater boat washdowns, fuel docks, and staging assistance.
What regulations apply when using a boat launch ramp?
Boaters must stage their gear and tie downs in designated parking zones before driving onto the ramp to maintain traffic flow. Most state laws require pulling the drain plug upon exiting the water to stop the spread of invasive species, alongside carrying valid state registration and required safety gear.
How to shrink wrap a boat?
To shrink wrap a boat, cover support structures with protective padding, lay the shrink film across the hull, heat-shrink it with a heat gun, and add ventilation ports.

What is a marine survey?
