You said that you would not go there because you felt unsafe. Ok so if that is the case I was only mentioning that you might know what it feels like when non dog lovers approach a PUBLIC boat ramp loaded with dogs. I know that you always use your lead but what you fail to recognize is that they can't just open up the ramp for your dogs. If it is open to all dogs they must then count on all the owners to leash their dogs. Not gonna happen. So what is the safe more cost effective way for the town to avoid this problem. Prohibit dogs from the BOAT launch, pretty simple IMHO. I'm not saying that I don't sympathize with you, unfortunately there are others who have ruined it for you. Those who chose to allow their dogs to run free.

Apples and oranges yet again. Downing's is private property? What part of that is so hard to grasp? As for the public boat launch I said the permit idea is a feasable one and it is.
