Would a $3.00 per use ramp fee to help raise money to improve the ramp, and maintain it be too much to ask for the added benefit to boaters who would save gas money by ramping in closer to this boating and fishing area of the river. My thinking is with higher gas prices, folks might boat more if they could get to the dam and this area of the river if the ramp was a little more user friendly.

What do you think? Any history on the subject? All comments and suggestions welcomed.
If you are on the Kentucky side the Greenwood ramp at Ohio River mile 619 is a much better ramp with a large parking area, restrooms, picnic area, and a dock. It is only 12 miles from McAlpine Dam. Its located just off Cane Run Road.
