Belle Haven Marina Public Scoping
George Washington Memorial Parkway![]()
Alternative D - Non-motorized Boat Ramp at Belle Have, Motorized Boat Ramp at North End of Belle Haven Picnic Area
|
This alternative would provide a single lane boat ramp for non-motorized boats and a concession operated sailing school and canoe/kayak rental operation at the existing marina location. The existing boat ramp would be improved to eliminate environmental and safety hazards. The existing marinas (wet & dry slips) including paved areas would be removed. After shoreline stabilization, the peninsula would become an open space with picnic tables and areas for shoreline fishing. This alternative would also develop a two lane motorized boat ramp at the north end of the Belle Haven Picnic area. The northernmost parking area would be converted from car parking to boat trailer parking with 20 pull through stalls for vehicles pulling trailers. Forty-five new car-parking spaces would be provided in the picnic area to offset some of the ninety-two spaces lost converting the car parking area to trailer parking. There would be a total net loss of 47 car-parking spaces in the picnic area. Both ramps would be free for public use. |
