But why is there a park next to the ramp with Benches ? Wouldn't that be good land for additional parking  spaces ? I hate being so negative , but it looks like the state made all kinds of concessions to appease the special interests out there , limit the parking so Port of Egypt doesn't get hurt ( they charge $450 a month for boat and trailer to launch and park-wonder if that influenced the state ? ) and putting in benches for the Town Residents to sit on and view the bay. I bet it's another State/Town purchase and the town takes control someday.I hope a lawyer /fisherman gets involved and reads the State Contract and see what the state agreed to. NYS has a nasty habit of partnering with local towns to build things and then after 20 years the property gets turned over to the town and they run it. Seen it so many times. Norman Klipp Park in Southold and the Jamesport State Ramp were state/town partnerships and after 20 years the town took control of the ramps and non residents couldn't launch there anymore.</blockquote>
