"the preferred launch ramp slope of 15% will allow the boat trailer to be in deep enough water to launch and retrieve from the trailer without the rear tires of the tow vehicle being in the water." a graph on page 26 shows a range of slopes from a minimum of 12-percent to a maximum of 15-percent.. Not all ponds need boat ramps. you can build a simple sloped gravel ramp for occasional use or a concrete ramp for heavier traffic. concrete ramps should have a 12-15% slope and extend far enough. Iirc, according to duke energy (our power co./lake owners/powerplant operators) while rebuildling our public ramp at our local lake a few years back, 12 to 15 degrees is what they use as the norm..
Two lane boat ramp, courtesy dock and limited dirt parking. this information is provided as a reference and is based on the last on-site visit by scdnr boating facility staff.. Boat ramp see launch ramp. bull rail a rail, usually 4"x 4" treated wood, spaced above the deck surface around the perimeter of the floats used to tie-up and secure boats.. The slope of a ramp is an important factor in determining how easy the ramp is to ascend and descend, and dimensions usually depend on the space available to construct the ramp. you can calculate the slope by using a simple equation: rise/run. the lower the second number, the steeper the slope..
