Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains geographic point data for motorized boat launches found to be open to the public in Washington State at the time of the field inventory (1997). This information is based on a comprehensive field inventory of motorized boat launches conducted by the Washington State Interagency Committee For Outdoor Recreation in 1997. The dataset contains geographic and descriptive information for 894 boat launches around the state.
Purpose:
The Motorized Boat Launch spatial dataset was developed to provide the most current information about motorized boat launches around Washington State to the public, state & local agencies, and boating interest groups. The information will be useful for recreation and recreation planning purposes, as well as to supplement other complementary geographic data for display and report purposes.
Supplemental_Information:
This dataset is for planning and visual display purposes only, and may not have the accuracy necessary for navigational purposes.
