Launching considerations / restrictions:

The launch is from a town ramp. There is a sign saying something like "authorized use only" but no indication that anyone in particular is not authorized.

Parking situation:

The area near the ramp is tight and used by boats to prepare for launch or to tie down upon removal. Leave plenty of room. Parking across the street.

Comments:

The ramp goes into Westecunk Creek about two miles upstream from Little Egg Harbor. It's a small pleasant creek - clearly deep enough for bigger boats, since there's a ramp there.
