Description
New boat launch at Snook Haven needs to have a boarding ladder installed before someone gets seriously injured. It is nearly impossible to enter or exit a boat during low water conditions.

The kayak launch is just as bad. It was poorly designed by individuals who never launched a kayak. The stairs are dangerous and end in water so there is no where to beach your kayak. Put in the middle of a parking lot. The promised revegetation has never taken place. It is an eyesore for a county park. The county is just thinking about the money from the business.
Then go to the North Jetty and see the outfitter set up in the kayak launch and another outfitter lining up twenty kayaks and completely blocking access for others and you realize who the county favors.
Blackburn Point kayak launch is a bed of shell with no facilities while the boat ramp and rowing launch have state of the art bathrooms.
I’m tired of asking why. I know Sharks pays the county a lot but they are public parks and should resemble a natural area. At Snook Haven you have to really look to find the words “County Park”
