State buys shoreline along Splitrock...

Well, there goes the neighborhood!!! In ways this is a good thing but most thoughts that are going through my head right now are leaning towards the negatives. I'm really unsure about this right now. I gotta think about the positives and negatives. Well I guess we can all count on more trash on the grounds................................

It's supposedly in the plans. Hoping it doesn't happen. It will ruin the place.

There is already waaaaay not enough parking and this will only make it worse but if they make more parking will that make the entire situation even worse? Unfortunately probably...

There are already 10,000 people dragging their kayaks and whatever else down that god forsaken hill and it doesn't deter them... will a ramp make it even worse... unfortunately probably...

And I thought it was getting stupid at the Newark watersheds where I fish a lot... now imagine that with no kayak / boat length restrictions and no pay to play permit required... the garbage situation (which has always been bad there) will now be the least of our worries...

I'm a positive glass is always half full kind of person but I really have a hard time seeing the upside on this one...

I'm on the fence with this one also, but then again, it is New Jersey. As long as people keep on top of things and report mischief and dumping it should be okay. If not, well it will look like this next year.

A boat ramp is neither the issue or a bad thing.
Proper management is what is needed. I support
a boat ramp because there are way too many waters
in N.J. that are private (Culvers, Tranquility for example)
The more public access we get the better.
